Researcher Turns His Assistant Into a Human Drumkit :: The human body is a conductor of electricity—a fact exploited by touch screens and, now, a novel way of generating music
- from an article by Christopher Mims in Technology Review 12/20/2010
Daito Manabe has a history of conducting quirky, painful experiments in which he administers shocks to the human body — usually his own — powerful enough to cause involuntary muscle contractions. He uses electricity, music, computers and video to expand on what were literally the earliest scientific experiments ever to be recorded photographically — the electrical shocks to the face of Parisians administered in the 19th century by Guillaume Duchenne.
