Objects in our lives are usually either digital or not; mostly a wall is just a wall. The Sonic Murals project explores what happens when we blur those lines. Implementing touch capacitance and conductive pigments in an innovative way, any surface can become a sensor, a tool for data collection, or a musical instrument, as exhibited in this project. When interacting with touch or proximity sensors on a sonic mural, one can experience spacial exploration and sound creation on a multi-sensory level.
