http://humanharp.orgThe Human Harp is a project led by artist Di Mainstone
with hardware and software engineering by Becky Stewart
and Adam Stark. The project draws inspiration from sus-
pension bridges and explores how they can be transformed
into musical instruments through augmentation with phys-
ical computing interfaces.
The proposed workshop will lead participants through the
hardware and software central to the installation - in par-
ticular the hardware string interface and the sound gener-
ation software. Participants will get hands-on experience
programming and testing the Arduino-based hardware and
then a guided tour through the software generating the au-
dio.
