Music: Not Impossible - Chase Burton | A Creator Story
Discover how Chase Burton uses Music: Not Impossible as a new art form: The Art of Haptics (TAOH)
Music: Not Impossible (M:NI) is an applied Vibrotextile™ technology that translates sound onto the skin through vibration, allowing users to feel the nuances of a music-listening experience. The M:NI product creates an experience and opportunity for creative expression that constitutes a new art form for all. Initially inspired by deaf music fans, M:NI's use during a concert produces a dramatic effect for all participants, regardless of their hearing, delivering a shared 'surround body' experience.
The Creator Network is a group of multimedia artists, composers, engineers, developers, producers and makers who use Music: Not Impossible’s creative platform—5-piece vibratory wearable, modular software, LoRa communication system—to develop enhanced sensory experiences pushing towards radical inclusivity in the arts. Contributing to establishing haptics as an art form and Music: Not Impossible (M:NI) as an instrument, all participants believe in the power of M:NI to break boundaries and provide an additional form of connection and expression for all to enjoy.
The Creator Network Haptic Art Experience is a celebration of the innovative programming that resulted from our inaugural experiment providing the M:NI creative platform to artists beyond Not Impossible. Haptic expressions, experiences and compositions that were developed in the months leading up to March 7th are now shared with the public for the first time, showcasing the power of haptics to create new and enhanced existing media and performances that can be experienced by all.
