Investigating the area of creating a tactile language to inform people of geographical location, public information or need in emergency environments. Using sound to create tactile surfaces, developing a relationship between an object and an event in time, from a recorded musical performance.
A sound recording is mapped in the form of a two dimensional computer generated image. This is translated into a three dimensional surface machining technologies, which is an ongoing process.
The current object illustrates the concept: the depression of the top surface chimes a glass; the depressed surface is 0.5 of second represented in a tactile language.
