Le button

· Interface concepts · Music · Originally published on wanderingabout.com

Le button is one single button that can transform any surface in a radio tuner. It allows to use any printed page as an link to an internet audio file which you can stream to your headphones. And because it’s able to save any pattern in it’s internal memory, you can re-save those links in any surface you can look at. how much can you do with a single button?

Mélange

Digital tools are great but they lack the refinement or the sensibility of the classical drawing tools such as pens and pencils. Mélange is an attempt of bringing those together not by simulating how ink flows in a paper but by bringing the digital screen over the canvas. about: Started making it in Rio in 2004 and finished in paris, 2005 using watercolor, ink, pencils and a projector.
