ZAP!
ZAP! is an interactive multimedia installation inspired by the electric eel’s Electric Organ Discharges (EODs). This project studies organisms and their adaptive behaviors, using the findings to develop sound installations and experiment with various materials, sensors, and technologies to craft wearable interfaces that allow participants to manipulate sound.
