• As one of the eight artist of the team, I developed Joker, a drum machine which requires the user to wear a mask. It both allows a sense of freedom and enable the input signals to travel on the surface of the skin towards the electronic device translating inputs into sounds and rhythms.
• Contributed towards the design of the whole installation, going from a simple idea of exploring communication to the final work 12 months later
• The art piece has been showcased in many places such as the V&A and Barbican in London and its creation resulted in a publication at the NIME conference. A new version of it will be presented in 2018.
