Text

Text explores vibration as a medium for transmitting information through the body. Designed as a wearable glove for blind and visually impaired musicians, it translates a musical score into a sequence of instrumental fingerings, then converts each fingering into precisely timed vibrations at the corresponding fingertips. As a song unfolds, the glove indicates which fingers to press and when, allowing the performer to learn and play without reading conventional visual notation. By transforming the score from something seen into something felt, Text proposes a tactile language for musical instruction and performance.
