PHYSICAL COMPUTING

This project comes from a desire to accessorize the phone booth, allowing it to become a more communicative and interactive space.
I have given the phone booth back its audio and visual seclusion, but in exchange created an exterior performance to graphicly depict the conversation inside.

The door is temporarily attached to the phone booth and is resting on two large casters which imply a sense of mobility. I made a strong attempt to pull the physical characteristics from the existing phone booth by using metallic framing as well as the color of the panels. The LED panels are made of 4 (3) LED series circuits. These light up as a digital response to the signal sent form the Adruino board. Only one circuit at each sampling time is turned on high which keeps a real-time visual connection to the conversations highs and lows. The microphone (super snooper) is using a suction cup to adhere to the mouthpiece of the phone, again reinforcing the temporary attachment to the booth.
