Pots of infinite Possibilities

The ‘Pots of Infinite Possibilities’ are a series of interactive ceramic works which explore the material characteristics and aurality of ceramic objects. The works use touch capacitance and proximity sensing on archetypal pots to generate or access electronic sound that is created by or of the pot and the user’s interaction. By exploiting the conductive nature of lustre, the ceramic objects, themselves become the interface, enabling us to extend our experience of familiar and mundane objects. This body of work created for EASTN DC is a continuation of research into how traditional making skills, ceramic materiality and digital technologies can link touch, sight and sound in a myriad of ways, using the habitual ways in which we handle familiar objects and materials to explore the infinite possibilities of objects as interface.
