Curious-action: eliciting curiosity in public spaces

Rob Tieben — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:50:16 +0000

Design-research project on eliciting repetitive curiosity in public spaces. This explorative research study focussed on curiosity: how can we make passers-by curious, and invite them for a short ‘walk-through-and-use’ interaction. As a research tool and proof-of-concept, six interactive speakers have been implemented: modular devices that respond to user activity (e.g. walking by or waving) with different sorts of auditory output.

Touch Me Dare – bodily music

Rob Tieben — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:03:15 +0000

TouchMeDare is an interactive music installation that elicits exploration and meetings with strangers through mutual touch.
Bodily contact (on both sides of the canvas) activates music samples, enabling an explorative search through music and intimate cooperation.

TouchMeDare has been successfully implemented and evaluated on the Lowlands festival (55.000 visitors), and on various other occasions.
