“The Zap-Zooper” is a drawing machine that uses sound waves to draw and creates different line types through different frequencies. This machine is a tool for mapping based on the attractor and repellent points in public space.
“The Kid” is the agent of the Zap-Zooper. He responses to the sound frequencies that come from the speaker and behaves through different parameters. These are Frequency, Volume, Pen Holder Geometry, Material.
Speaker is located in the center of the board and there are some vibration dampers between the aluminium sheet and the sub-woofer box. with this dampers, there are two more parameters coming in to the calculation which are slope and non-vibrating spots.
The Kid is trying to go to non vibrating points but at the same time trying to avoid them because of the slope. So this drawing is a result of that war between the slope and the vibration.
