Tangible Scores
Tomás Enrique · 2016
In this paper the art installation "Tangible Scores" is presented, laying emphasis on its design decisions, features and constraints. In order to explain the important relationship between physicality and artistic expression, the concept of "performative materiality" is contextualized within the framework of tangible musical interfaces. Then, a hybrid vision of performative interfaces is introduced. Under this hypothesis, and through the creative exploration of their physical affordances and constraints, tangible musical instruments may be interpreted as scores too.
