VACUMONIUM

I found this fella on superuse.org, he had some nice concepts. Dennis graduated in June’07 as an Interactive Media designer at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy, in Rotterdam. In June’09 he completed the master-course Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, also in Rotterdam. His work is inspired by everyday life. Associations made between everyday objects and media result in hybrid forms and ‘new media’. Recognizable but subtle and clever.

The project above is called vacumonium, it is a harmonium (air-organ) build into an old Miele vacuum cleaner. So (…), form and function of two (household, everyday) objects are associated and literally combined. There’s a soundsample of the vacumonium on his website. SEW-O-PHONE
