I remember that we will work on a project that involves organic material. Here is an example of what it could be.

This is a project called “Nora & Torvald” made by rootoftwo, a group of designers/artists founded by Cezanne Charles and John Marshall (http://www.rootoftwo.com/). In custom-designed pieces of furniture they embedded sensor-controlled digital media to explore user-object relationships.

This is how it works:

“There is a photocell embedded in the seat of the armchair ‘Torvald’. This sends a message when it registers darkness (i.e. when someone sits down). This triggers a randomly selected line of dialogue (one of ten) from the play to be played as audio. There is an accelerometer in the rocking stool ‘Nora’. When she is rocked this triggers a randomly selected line of her dialogue (also one of ten) to be played as audio.”
