Experiment 3: Tête-à-Tête
Project Description: ‘Tête-à-Tête’ is a private-dating platform. The term, ‘Tête-à-Tête’ (French origin) refers to a secret one-to-one conversation between two people. The communication is encrypted through the use of ‘Cupid Cryptic Codes’ that gets transmitted through the playing of the mini piano keys. The objective is to have an ‘ongoing secret chat’ while being camouflaged as a piano player. There are ten piano keys in total which generate the Solfège/Solfa - an educational technique to teach musical notes and sight-reading skills and familiar beginners with lyrical patterns. For example, ‘A’ is denoted with one Red blink and generated the musical note of ‘Do’. Similar to an actual piano, the first eight mini piano keys produces Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti & Do consecutively. The last 2 keys, produces ‘Beep’ sounds denoting to set of odd and even numbers. The code syntax incorporates Alphabets, numbers, several punctuations in addition to a few emojis.
