Coded Sensation by Martin Rille.

THIS SENSATION IS AUDIO /short version from martinrille.com on Vimeo.

Many senses, like the eyes, ears, tongue or nostrils are scattered over a small area while the sense of touch covers the whole body. Tactile sensation is the first sense a newborn child develops and with which it has the first experiences in this world. As a result, the first memories a human gathers, are imprinted through tactile sensation. Therefore it is the sense that triggers the deepest link to human emotion.

Coded Sensation is realized through applying an ultra-thin sheet of chromium oxide onto the surface of fabrics and storing information through a magnetic modulation. As like in audio-tapes this technique is extremely sustainable.

Stories and poems in audio are stored on the surface of these coded fabrics. A reading head, which consists of an electromagnetic sensible coil, reads the magnetic fluctuation in the chromium oxide. It then is transformed into an acoustic media. This process works reciprocally.
