PINSCREEN
is a tactile sculpture that translates touch into strong visual
effects. It consists of special straight-pins hung through a horizontal
fine-mesh screen and covered with a glass plate retaining the pins.
The visitor pushes and strokes the pins from below creating ghostly
3-D mappings of objects. When stroked, the pins swing, reflecting
colors from lamps mounted above the table, creating patterns reminiscent
of wind-blown wheat.
