Parangonet's performance

I was invited to participated in an event about wearables, part of "Mostra Sesc de artes 2010".

For this exhibition we set up the parangonets and documentation at Sesc Pompéia in São Paulo - Brazil. The scenography was really cool.



Besides the exhibition we had 3 performances in various places. I made a small compilation with some moments.

From this experience I figured out that I want to do more performances. The performance's complexity triggered something in me that i really like. Something between dance, theater and visual arts...

Check my new work.

fabric sensors

In one parangonet I am using a fabric sensor. It was developed by Mika Satomi and Hannah.



For that you have to use conductive fabric, normal fabric and velostat.



After done you have to make a small circuit with a resistor.


I am conecting with an arduino board, but you can use any microcontroler you want.

It is simple to make and very sensible.

Parangonet

This is a work that I am doing right now. It began with a nice conversation between me and Jader Scalzareto who is the co-author. It is a small tribute to the great artist Helio Oiticica. The idea is to create a set of "parangolés" remotely connected. According the movements of each one some sound are triggered and modified. as it is still under development I will post here some pictures of the process.



First parangonet made with many pieces of fabrics from different parts of the world, representing various cultures.





Atferwards a curcuit will be attached to this parangonet.

The circuit is composed by: arduino lylipad, accelerometer, xbee, power supply.
