In this project, I tried to design a system in which by playing with clay, you could also produce music. After experimenting and researching different ways of achieving this goal, I decided to use camera motion sensors and compile the coding in Python.

Musical Clay was an installation about the connections between what I think and its physical representation in the real world, and how this constant translation between what is abstract and what is tangible has contributed to my idea of self.​

I used clay as my medium for physical representation. Whenever someone is playing or creating with that clay, they are also making music. It depends on the preference of the user to focus on the object that they are creating or create music through that clay. No matter the approach, the outcome always would be a music piece as well as a tangible object. As if the final piece is a conversation between what the user is thinking and what they are communicating in the physical world.
