Kinetic Station

The Kinetic Station transcodes a device’s incidental sound into movement. The station provokes a conversation around the immaterial residuals of our electronic devices being converted into our perceptual level of reality — becoming physical and designed. The Kinetic Station also alludes to the idea of these immaterial residuals being carefully crafted to define physical spaces — can this energy, which is intrinsically unique among any device, be used to open doors, windows, or even move walls? Perhaps our devices could one day define its own personal space?
