Buizerd

An interactive installation built for the 2 Turven Hoog toddler-festival. A physical and sonic landscape built with large card-board cylinders.

Buizerd encourages both the toddlers and the parents to explore how things interact, feel, sound or vibrate. The explorer is rewarded for their explorations with auditive and visual feedback.

The installation has four sound sources which react to the explorer using pressure and light sensors. Three speakers are hidden inside the cylinders and one surface transducer is attached to a lid. One of the taller cylinders has LED lights inside which react to sound. The cylinders have different finishes: artificial grass, yoga or rubber mats and tied rope.
