please do not touch is is an interactive electronic sound sculpture - painting created at Stanford University in 2010 during my research residency and collaboration with Edgar Berdahl. The visitors interact with the painting by touching it. A simple electronic circuit which intentionally takes the form of an abstract painting is placed on the surface of the canvas and amplifies the visitors hands sounds while they explore its surface.
