the typophonium

sound on/off:

The Typophonium is an interactive audio-visual installation piece created by Origamibiro & The Joy of Box. It's a purpose built contraption that generates music and moving images through typing.

If users want the music and film to keep playing, all they need do is keep typing. The answers appear on a long scroll of paper which can be viewed by others during the event if they wish.

Depending on the question posed, the footage used and the way in which the typist triggers the music, the results are unique every time. For the first installment, the question was, "What gives you hope?" You can view the finished artifacts and more from the submenus on the left.
