The source of inspiration of this work is a combination of Philip Worthington’s Shadow Monsters(recognising the shape of users to create the ‘monsters’ image) and some paintings(colourful shapes) in MoMA. In my work, I want to do the same thing like hers. I think about a lot of ideas about this work. In the end, I decided to choose sound to make the non-tactile interaction with people. As we all known, the sound is invisible. I want people who experience this work can feel and see their voice. I used curves to show the fluctuations of the sound. At the same time, I want this work to be more interesting, so I use the changes in the color of the curve to satisfy. When people’s voice overtake the level, the color will change. Perhaps, in the future, this can be improved gradually, and it may become an effective tool to remind people not to make too loud sounds in public. And this kind of reminder won’t make people feel embarrassed.

On the technical level, I research the element ‘gen~’ and ‘scope’ in this work. Also from this work, I know that how to change background color and line color. But I still have poor ability of using Max. To start create this work, Camille helps a lot. He helps me make the prototype of the work and introduce new techniques, then I can have further explorations. However during the creation, I find it’s difficult to satisfied my thought of the part of curve. To solve this problem, I explored the trend of changing the curve on the X-axis of the X-axis to make its shape more interesting.
