The document details the design process and challenges encountered in creating a device called 'black box', inspired by the concept of a flight recorder. It outlines steps like hacking a speaker, integrating sensors for user interaction, and developing a sound narrative for a spaceship pilot's distress call. Various technical aspects and iterations are discussed, culminating in a focus on aesthetics and functionality.

Box.
4 Music and Narrative
Concept: Space ship pilot sends out call for help and then is attacked by
mysterious beings.
How: Recorded a friend’s voice, then used sound library to put together the
narrative and events.
Script:
[Dial Tone]
Pilot: Calling Mission Control. Calling Mission Control. Do you read me? There is
someone on our ship. I repeat. There is someone on our ship. Send help immediately.
[Creepy monster sound]
Pilot: Wait…What was that?
[Creepy monster sounds and growling]
Pilot: Oh noooooo!
[more creepy monster sounds and growling]
Pilot: HELP MEEEEE!

- 1. Black Box.
- 2. Black Box. Inspiration: Aether Artifact (2012) by Michael Importico Aim was to create the illusion of a radio picking up sounds from the past – In our context, I immediately thought “black box!” Link - https://vimeo.com/55187436
- 3. Black Box. What is a black box? 1 (Aeronautics) an informal name for flight recorder 2 A device or theoretical construct with known or specified performance characteristics but unknown or unspecified constituents and means of operation 3 Any small black box containing a secret, mysterious, or complex mechanical electronic device (1) Collins English Dictionary (2) The American Heritage Dictionary (3) Webster’s College Dictionary
- 4. Black Box. I am particularly fascinated by the “black box” obsession that follows each airplane crash – the wish (which I share) to witness the last moments, especially the moment that reveals the certainty of death entering the pilot’s consciousness. Why do I want to know this, over and over? James Berger, “Trauma and Literary Theory”, Contemporary Literature Vol. 38 (1997). ❝ ❞
- 5. Black Box. Design Process – Creating a Black Box: 1 Hacking a speaker – how can I make it make noise? 2 Figuring out Sensors – how can I make people’s bodies turn it on? 3 Getting led astray! Trying to fit too much in 4 Music and Narrative

- 7. Black Simple Circuit Box. Main Circuit is infra red sensor and speaker attached right to the Arduino
- 8. Black 1 Hacking a speaker – how can I make it make noise? Box. Breaking up Canadian Tire speaker and using iPhone as musical input
- 9. Black 1 Hacking a speaker – how can I make it make noise? Box. First Step was taking out batteries and changing the power so it came from Arduino, then I made it turn on with a button press and play music from my iPhone
- 10. Black 2 Figuring out Sensors – how can I make people’s bodies turn it on? Box. Next step was replacing the turn on button with a sensor. I used the proximity sensor with a delay so people would turn it on for a while Idea for using proximity sensor from Kate’s Sept 25 Tutorial
- 11. Black Box. I really liked the idea of having the continuous servo motor playing a creepy music box, but after making it work thought: “what does this really have to do with a black box?” Nothing… but it was a fun experiment 3 Getting led astray! Trying to fit too much in In the end I ditched the music box idea – concentrate, Lee! ;)

- 14. Black 5 FINAL CONCEPT – CODE Box. //proximitysensor code from Kate Hartmen's lecture example Thursday Sept 25th digital futures OCADU int soundPin = 9; //Pin to turn speaker on int proximitySensorPin = A0; //Where Proximity sensor goes in int proximitySensorValue = 0; //start numbers for sensor void setup () { pinMode (soundPin, OUTPUT); //speaker power Serial.begin(9600); //to get readings } void loop () { proximitySensorValue = analogRead(proximitySensorPin); Serial.println(proximitySensorValue); if(proximitySensorValue > 40) { digitalWrite (soundPin, HIGH); //This will turn the sound on when someone is near } else { delay(10000); // keeps it on long enough to listen to some digitalWrite (soundPin, LOW); //This will turn the sound off when someone is not near } }
- 15. Black 6 JOURNAL Box. 1 Hacking a speaker – how can I make it make noise? (SEPT 20-21 WEEKEND – 2 DAYS – HARDEST PART) 2 Figuring out Sensors – how can I make people’s bodies turn it on? (SEPT 25 – 26 – HALF DAY) 3 Getting led astray! Trying to fit too much in (OCTOBER 3-4 – HALF DAY) 4 Music and Narrative (OCTOBER 1- 4 – HALF-DAY) 5 Aesthetics and making it work (OCTOBER 5 – HALF-DAY)
- 16. Black 7 Last words – Greatest Challenge – the speaker likes to screeeeeeeech Box. When I was working on the speaker at first it wouldn’t take any iPhone songs, it would only screech! Finally I got the plugs in right but it still screeches if they aren’t in all the way Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/10814508 3 Lesson! Be careful while your hacking, don’t just rip things apart -_-
