Music is truly the international language! But what many people do not realize is that a great portion of the future of music belongs to those who use it to tune into their own future! By Joyce Schwarz, media futurist, blogging @www.visionboard.info.
SENSOR CHAIR -- a dozen years before DDR
ABOVE see the "Sensor" chair which was developed as part of THE BRAIN OPERA an extension of the Hyperinstruments project started at the MIT Media lab back in 1986. That was almost a dozen years before DDR (Dance Dance Revolution which combines motion & music and visuals launched in the USA (according to wikipedia).
WHY DOES THE SENSOR CHAIR MATTER? WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE VISION BOARD?
At first designed to enhance the virtuosity of some of the world's greatest performers, from Yo-Yo Ma to Prince, hyperinstruments started evolving in 1991 towards the development of expressive tools for non-professional musicians.
The Brain Opera is the culmination to date of this work, and points the way to the further development of expressive objects (furniture, remote controls, clothing, etc.) and responsive environments (including living rooms, concert halls, and department stores).
AND by creating your own vision board or vision video -- you are basically simulating your future environment. You are using objects (video, words, sound, singing) to 'simulate' and immerse yourself into your best possible future.
