Physical Methods of Creative Computation
Physical Methods of Creative Computation reimagines the computer interface as a physical, collaborative space—a “folk computer.” Through interactive installations in which participants manipulate physical objects to perform digital functions, this project seeks to bridge the gap between the tangible and the virtual, exploring how tactile engagement with technology can foster creativity and social connection in ways that conventional digital interfaces cannot. Participants will be invited to engage with the folk computer in various artistic endeavors, such as collaborative visual art creation where physical movements translate into digital brushstrokes, interactive storytelling with tangible objects triggering narrative elements, and experimental music composition using physical arrangements to manipulate sound.
