Beatdice is a collaborative experience where a group of people create a light sculpture out of large cubes. The orientation of each cube selects musical content. Rearranging the sculpture rearranges the song. The cubes are embossed on each side with dice-like patterns so they are accessible for those with low vision.
When I learnt about music in school, if you couldn’t play an instrument you couldn’t participate. The concept behind Beatdice is to empower everyone to participate in a musical collaboration regardless of their physical skill with an instrument.
