A photosensor | A photosensor calculates the amount of light emitted by the algae. This number is then use in Max MSP to trigger notes on a keyboard; the higher the amount of light, the higher the note. The light also affects the tempo of the music as it slows it down when the amount increases and speeds it up when it decreases. | ||
The research and experimentations for the installation was divided in two main parts and were also made within the frame of two other classes.
