Looking Outwards 3- Sara Frankel


Caption: Combining technology with the art of the instrument, this artist creates a playable violin with a 3D printer.

This project harmonizes the art of code and music together. It does so by means of using a 3D printer to produce a playable violin. What I admire about this project is the fact that someone was capable of making a plastic shape make music. This is inspirational to me in the sense that, being a music major, music is found everywhere in many different kinds of mediums. The fact that someone is able to speak through an instrument made by a machine is amazing as it truly speaks for the modern day; this project is the culmination of the art of code and music. An aspect of this project that would incorporate an algorithm is the fact that when the bow of the instrument is brought to the string, how the instrument will produce a sound.
