LookingOut 5: Liang

Project #1: Denki Puzzle
by Yuri Suzuki and Technology Will Save Us





























This project uses a kit of bespoke PCB components to create a puzzle device which enables users to get a better understanding of how things work by assembling these pieces. Users can create fully working appliances such as a radio or light system. Through customer electronics people have the ability to make things work by simple manipulations. At this point, they also have the chance to know how a digital device or a electronic system exactly works. It exposes the basic principles of things to users, which helps people more easily and more intuitively to access technology and things.







Project #2: The Sound of the Earth
by Yuri Suzuki







































This project maps recorded music from those countries which Yuri has traveled through to a globe. The grooves represent the outlines of the geographic land mass. Each country on the disc is engraved with a different sound, as the needle passes over it plays field recordings. The recorded music ranges from traditional folk music, national anthems, popular music to spoken word broadcasts. It applies the metaphor of a globe in the sound recorder, establishing a strong connection between personal travel and music recordings. It is a simple but reasonable design.
