Scar Instruments
Scar instruments are generated based on the shapes of the traces, made by resin, hot melt glue, wire and the waste objects I collected around the scars of the construction sites. Some materials are exposed to the surface so that people can use the ‘bow’ to pull and rub each different object material to make different sounds or noises.
Scar instruments not only retain the linguistic information of the traces, but also imitate the principle of physics and the style of violin and keyboard instruments. They are reconstructions of these classical instruments.
