New York-based artist and interaction designer JooYoun Paek created a musical play interface called Fold Loud which combines technology, origami, and sound to create an interactive experience of relaxation, recovery and balance.
While you fold classic origami bases from this unique sheet of paper, it simultaneously creates soothing harmonic vocal sounds. Each fold is assigned a different sound so that a combination of these folds create harmony. Click here to watch the video.
This is really neat. It especially “speaks” to me because I have a form of synesthesia that makes it so that visual things produce sounds in my brain. When I watch someone fold a piece a paper, each fold DOES have a different sound
I wonder if the artist “suffers” from the same type of synesthesia as I do!
