title = "The Biolin: A current-based musical interface",
abstract = "In this paper, we describe a media artwork that features the Biolin, a musical device that produces different sounds depending on the target object that it is being played on. Shaped like an ordinary violin bow, the Biolin analyzes the target using a weak electric current to produce a timbre that matches the target. The user can then perform by {"}playing{"} the target object using the Biolin. The Biolin was designed by modifying a violin bow in order to make it conductive and connected to a computer for the transmission of data, resulting in visual and auditory output. We showcased Biolin in front of a small audience, in which the users showed positive reactions to the new approach of making sounds from everyday objects and people around us.",
