Musical Electric Fence

Created at: 21/05/2010

Does it sting or does it sing? An electric fence that creates music, but you have to touch it to make it sing!

illutron member Jiazi Liu and Christian Liljedahl are building a critical design piece, exploring the possibilities of playing with an electric fence. The fence itself, not actually electric, is a fantastic interface, playing with load cells to create a unique interactive experience. The top wire gives information to the load cell when pulled while the other three wires of the ‘fence’ will create additional sounds when touched. See video here: on blip
