software prototypes for interactive performances
developed for ghost hardware workshop






Example 1
Speculative Futures Wheel / Singing Bowl


Works with spacebar and arrow keys on Makey Makey. Once you press it, it randomly plays a sound (.mp3) + picks a word.
Tweak the sounds by copying .mp3 files in the data folder, change the words in the code on line 12 - 29.
Change the main image by replacing: futureswheel.jpg, and the background image by: futurebg.png
You might need to install the minim library in Processing > scroll down to read how to install a library.


Code made with fellow Priscilla Benyahia ︎

Remote controls are very easy to disassemble and repurpose

Example 2
Wire Instrument /  Remote Control Charm


Works with spacebar and arrow keys on Makey Makey. Each press chooses a random image + sound from a folder. Once you press it, it randomly plays a sound (.wav) and  shows an image with corresponding number.
Tweak the sounds by copying .wav files in the data folder > folder (space, up down left), same for images(.png) Change the main image by replacing: ghosthardware.jpg, and the background image by: bg.jpg



Example made by Telemagic ︎

Example 3
Simple Button Oracle


Works with spacebar on Makey Makey. Each press combines 3 random words with an image.
Open OracleBasicWithExplanation.pde to see explanation of what is happening exactly.
You can change the words at line 16 - 18 (words1, words2, words3).
You can change the images in the data folder, replace them with images with the same name and filetype)!
Have fun with it!



Example 4
Stream Arrow


Works with spacebar on Makey Makey. Each press slows down the stream on one random image.
Tweak the images by replacing them in the data folder!
Change the sound by replacing 1.mp3 with a file with the same name and extension.


Example 5
XyloHand


Works with spacebar, arrow keys and w a s d f g on Makey Makey. Each press plays a sound.
When pressing spacebar twice it switches between the sample bank.
Change the sound by replacing .mp3 with a file with the same name and extension.
