problem
As a Malaysian, I found that most of us lack substantial knowledge about our indigenous musical instruments due to the uninspiring music class syllabus.
solution
I create an interactive installation where touching different ethnic foods triggers distinct musical pitches, varying from low to high based on the user's touch force. Each food item represents a specific culture. Visitors are invited to guess the traditional instrument behind the sound before scanning a nearby QR code to reveal its history and answer on-site.
Cultural Magician is an audiovisual installation that showcases the sounds of traditional musical instruments from different ethnic backgrounds. It combined with sounds, foods, and technology.
A celebration of culture, innovation, and the power of sensory engagement.
It offers an immersive way to connect with local roots, helping people truly hear and appreciate the beauty diversity of Malaysia.
