SING!//SCREAM!












2025
12 x 10 x 10 cm.
found stuffed animal, arduino lilypad, 
patch fabric, piezo disc, piezoelectric buzzer, 
flex sensor, fdm 3d printed tpu. this is simon. simon is in debt to caesar’s palace. help simon mask his panic by pressing his belly and waving his arm!

LET HIM FEEL THE CATHARSIS OF EXPRESSING HIS TERROR OF BEING ENTHRALLED BY HEDONISM, PRESS HIS BELLY AND HELP HIM SCREAM FOR HELP BY WAVING HIS ARM AFTER.



in my exploration of flex sensors and piezoelectric buzzers, my musical inclination was introduced to the idea of using oscillation in order to mimic more raw sounding textures. as a result of this, my work migrated from a dynamic musical glove to the embodiment of a living being under duress to demonstrate these sonic sensations.

i learned how to code in arduino ide, as well as solder electronic circuits and hand sew through the making of this project.

the projects by using a piezo disc’s analog reading to trigger switch between two textures of output from a piezoelectric buzzer, with the pitch of this output being controlled by a flex sensor in simon’s arm.
