The goal of this project was to use one input device--a knob--to create either a sound or video output. My input device was attached to a music box which created music on itself. The music box contains a 7-inch monitor that contains a filmstrip of six video clips that scroll up and down as the user turns the knob. Once the user lets go of the knob, the filmstrip which contained a 1 second preview of the videos stops and the videos are then replaced with the full-length, 20~30 second video clips.

The process: closed vanity set...open vanity set...open music box...turn the knob...stop turning knob to enjoy the full video.


The back-scene: Knob with gear glued onto the shaft...actual music box turns gear...laptop and make controller hidden inside the drawer of the vanity set.


Some still shots of the six video clips that circles on the 7" monitor inside the music box. The contents of the six video clips range from simple pop culture references to personal narratives.
