Through application of Research Through Design (RtD) methodology, this project involved preparation of the audio in Audacity, building the meteor, creating capacitive sensors, MIDI mapping the capactive sensors in Ableton Live, as well as the user evaluation.
Using methods of design fiction, material speculation, and tangible affective interaction, the sound and capacitive sensors are intertwined to afford this unique locus of reflection. People confronted with the meteor characterized it as a vulnerable object, with the inseparable modalities of recorded voice and touch creating an intimate interaction. This cements its potential to instigate difficult and multifaceted conversations about the future.
