Noisy jelly

is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly.

With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar agar powder. After added different color, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board,and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds.

Technically, the game board is a capacitive sensor, and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal.
This object aims to demonstrate that electronic can have a new aesthetic, and be envisaged as a malleable material, which has to be manipulated and experimented.

Mise en Dior 3d Pinball

Welcome to the virtual world of Dior with the Dior Pearl. Where is it going? Breathlessly following its every move, we experience each twist and turn from the Pearl’s point of view, to the rhythm of an original electro-remix of Mozart. Each score of points is marked by a Dior icon. It is a step forward in the creation of the “Mise en Dior” necklace. Exhilarated by its adventure in this fascinating Dior universe, the Pearl dialogues spontaneously with each of the house’s icons. The Bar jacket, Lady Dior, J’Adore, the star, Dior Addict… Chain reactions, heady excitement, futuristic neon and pure poetry in an ode to tradition: that is how the necklace is made.
