This is a functional object I have used in performances, it is made from found objects – faders from a discarded stereo, wire found on the street, a book from the garbage bin and an arduino controller from a non functional project and two toy pigs found in my house.

The controller is fully functional and connects to a computer via USB, it outputs high resolution 10 bit data that is a great improvement on low resolution midi controllers used by many artists. This is a very simple test object in a series I hope to continue to develop further into a more functional high resolution controller.

This controller is part of an upcoming series of new media tools and objects made from or designed to work with garbage.
