Solar Racer

This is a slider painted to remind of a race car. What reminds of a back spoiler is a solar panel which generates electricity. In the middle of the slide way there is incorporated a thin film solar panel that works as a sensor. The sensor reacts when a body is shadowing the incoming sun rays. The unbalance is used to transform the electricity outcome from the panels into sound.

Orange

This is a combined resting place and music instrument. The instrument works as a Theremin and is maneuvered through shadowing the solar panels with the hands. By shadowing the panel its possible to adjust the pitch of the tone as well as creating rhythms.
