Matthew Erlebacher Looking Outward-04

One piece of sound art that I found to be interesting was the Hexome. The device sound beautiful while also looking aesthetically appealing. I think that what sells the look is its hexagonal shape. It is said that hexagons are the shape of nature, (many things in nature come in that for e.g. bee nests and turtle shells) and the shape is used to make this device incredibly attractive. The creator likely encoded each light with specific instructions on how to interact with each other using “if” and “else” statements. I think that the programmer’s creativity was able to manifest in the final project just by how much you can interact with it. The device can even do a small light show making it a highly versatile instrument. It also just looks fun to uses and see how many different combinations of sounds you can come up with.
