Vandal Proofing
In my second year, I was part of the Meeting Duet project team, in which we designed a screen that makes music when touched from both sides, evoking bodily meetings without visual prejudice.
After the project, we were asked to make it into a vandal proof product, for use on the Lowlands festival. I participated in this extension on the technical side of things, programming, designing electronics and designing and building the frame.
