Frankenstein Touch

Stylized styrofoam head covered in conductive paint so it acts as a touch interface. Interface is connected to an arduino and a basic Python program that "reads" the voltage a human body pulls from it when touched and reacts with a "reading" of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Touch Interface for Frankenproject

Alongside Kelsey Dufresne and Dr. David Rieder at NC State University, Frankenproject is an expansion on the Frankenstein Touch interface. Currently under construction, it includes (among other things) 3D printing, glitch art, audio, natural language processing, and animated text.
