I´m born into a house with no computer

For this week assignment we had to an ACTION, an OBJECT and a RESPONSE choosen from a list. I choose:
- Tap
- Cup
- Sound

My idea was to create a sound instrument, since I never worked with sound in Processing. To trigger the sound when u tap into the Cup I use photocells with a lower threshold. I am still in the process of finishing it. I already worked on the Arduino Code and have something responding in processing but I still miss the construction of the prototype --- putting the 5 inputs ( photocells) inside of the cup.
It's going to be a mess!!

In class, Tom show us an example of how visualization live data is arriving to the physical world -- see here

We talked in class about it and most of us thought that it was a bit dumb but I think that it can have better applications. The Source, a work by GreyWorld, is a kinetic sculpture that became the new symbol for the London Stock Exchange. It 's a bit different from the previous example but in my oppinion a beautiful example physical representation of data flows.
It's form and motion is based on live data streams from the Internet. It works like a living organism that is a reflection of market forces.
