Visible Sound
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008
Design duo Patrick Li and Ian Gallais make up Sounds Butter which has created Visible Sound. They describe it best:
The intention for this project was to make sound visible. As there is already a variety of ways in which sounds can be seen (equalizers, sub-titles, etc.), my aim was to produce a device where that representation of sound would be a physical one. I therefore used the sewing machine as the basis for the project as I feel it is synonymous with industry, and making physical products. Due to limitations in my computer programming skills this model of a stereo/sewing machine is a prototype of how I imagined the actual product would look.
