MO Musical Objects

MO objects are a set of gestural interfaces for exploring new means of musical expression. These are "objects to be finished" by the user to invent and configure his own musical instrument and gestural interpretation. MO objects derive from the Interlude research project, which gave designers a key role in the research process. It won the 2011 Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition and was shown at MoMA's Talk to Me.

AIgad – Artificial intelligence aided drawing

First conceived in 2009 with Olivier Bau, this concept introduces a gestural sculpting tool that lets users shape three dimensional forms through hand movements alone. At its core, the object functions as a self organising Kohonen neural network, allowing it to interpret gestures and continuously adapt its shape to follow the contours traced by the user.
