Otto Spy Speaker
|
|
|

Every object and surface in our environment has a whisper; subtle tremors and vibrations that are usually undetectable to the human ear, produced by the activity and movement of daily life.
What if these sounds were audible? How would that change our aural awareness, perception of space and attitude towards objects? Would it be possible to ‘compose’ our own soundtrack using our walls and objects as a new form of instruments? Madsounds is a proposal for a different appreciation of our environment, space and objects by making it possible to identify, combine and manipulate these sounds.
The Otto may look like one of those suction cup gadgets that turns any surface into a sound generating speaker, but it’s actually more like a stethoscope than a speaker. If you latch it onto a window, a wall or a glass of ice water, you can hear “subtle tremors and vibrations.

Bamboo Stereo by Soohyuk Im
|
|
|

Bears like it so why not humans? This bamboo inspired stereo looks good (ignore the pink) and thru the natural acoustics of cylindrical objects, sounds good too. But it’s not just nature-ry, it also has every accoutrement a technophile would want. Think wifi enabled, wireless speakers, integrated LED screen, MP3 line in, remote desktop syncing, radio, and yes - cd player.
Bamboo is a unique stereo system designed to help alleviate some of the loneliness in our contemporary lives.
Bamboo implies tranquility and companionship. Bamboo’s aim is not only to supply “soothing sonic satisfaction” but also to provide healing and comfort for people in a chaotic and stressful postmodern world. The built-in LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the side of the speakers produces various forms of sound visualisation. Music is transmitted wirelessly from the main system to the speakers. The main component is comprised of a recharging element, a built-in wireless-LAN WIFI, CD player, radio and MP3 player. This unique combination facilitates saving downloaded music automatically from any computer since it has its own IP address (ipv6).
