How big is a tree? | |||
How big is your love for pop music? | |||
And how big is your trust in yourself? « | |||

When I open my hands as much as I can to both sides of my body – like a child spreading its arms untill it can’t any further, sayling: „Look, this is how big is an elephant!“ – I try to measure my surrounding: I am trying to depict a size of something that is there – but may not there in a touchable way– and I will try to show its dimensions with the means of my body. | |||
Musing about distances (– from here, to there… from my one hand, to the other hand… ) and then thinking about the size of things and how hard they are sometimes to percieve esp. when far away or largely sized, I quickly realized that I would like to find a way to translate such terms like meters and centimeters (– the metric system: a measuring system we used to learn, yet often so intangible) into terms that might be more abstract but still emotionally close to us: sounds. | |||
How does size sound like? | |||
How do dimensions sound like? | |||

(IDEA AND CONCEPT) | |||
The gloves are equipped with an IR-distance sensor, that can sense and measure the gap between one hand and the other. | |||
These date will be translated via the programming language Processing into sound: The wider the distance, the higher the sound. The other way round: very small distance sounds very low. | |||

(USAGE) | |||
By joining the middle fingers of both of your hands, you ‚activate‘ the gloves (in a metaphorical way) and by that initiate the process of measuring: | |||
an LED-light switches on, and a short vibration indicates the start of the measuring. | |||

Also, an audioguide – >> your personal measuring assistent<< – will switch on and will guide you through a nice chain questions will help you dimension-guessing. This is a preview: [[:File:__audioguide_gloves.mp3]] | |||
– So, how big sounds your trust in yourself? | |||
Throughout the whole process then, sounds according to your hands position will be heard. Finally, by joining the middle fingers again, the process will be stopped. – | |||
