'fingertip symphony' by daito manabe for 'straight and arrow' single by FaltyDL
tokyo-based artist daito manabe is well-known for pushing the boundaries of digital art - his latest iteration focusing on sound in a music video for
new york artist FaltyDL' s single 'straight and arrow'. the entire track is performed with the rhythmic drumming of fingertips and tapping of knees,
literally using the human body as an instrument. manabe created the spectacle with 40 original electric stimulation devices he tailored himself in order
to control the many fingers and arms, where the artist describes the project as a 'visualization using human body'.
the track being performed

participants were wired up to harness their beat

manabe creates the spectacle with 40 original electric stimulation devices he tailored himself
looks like a bunch of zombies waking up from the dead
the possibilities of this are so many!! def people ! rise!!!!
is this ethically proven?
This looks weird not only for me, right?
You could do the same thing with muscle stimulation units that therapists use in hand therapy to facilitate muscle contraction, tendon gliding, and joint motion. This would not, however, be an appropriate use for the devices.
