This has to be the coolest musical instrument ever! Doubling as a psychadelic 70's art deco room divider, the light bead curtain gives new expression to making sweet music together. The beads light up and play a sound when you touch them.
Each clear glass bead switches on and off when touched and emits a unique sound, so it is easy to use. This digitally re-created curtain is also computer programmable and therefore each bead can be controlled beforehand to create
an interactive light and sound display.
Ami Wolf and Jin-Yo Mok are the creators of the Light Bead Curtain their philosophy behind this musical light show innovation is:
"We seek to explore how people interact with objects incorporating simple, direct relationships between light and sound. In the future these concepts will be applied to other everyday things such as a column, a ball, and perhaps furniture—many of which possess a familiar and inviting nature."
A bead curtain is the element that adds to the personal and simplistic pleasure of exploring the familiar in a new and refreshing way.
Play with it, run your fingers over it, weave in and out brushing your face and whole body through it, make love to it, your curtain has never sounded or looked better!
A truly apt and desirable addition to a party or nightclub.
