Waveform Bracelet

Really digging this very cool idea from The Sound Advice Project.

Although the sound waveform bracelet is intended as a way for parents to record an inspirational message, which is then custom-made into a piece of jewellery as a gift to a teenage child, I find that a bit too limited.

I can see these being created as personal gifts being made from someone's name, a tag line or company name, favorite band, place of birth or even simply using favorite single words or a short phrase like: That's Right.

Dig the simple packaging as well!

That's Right,

Sound Wave

The Museum of Arts and Design, formerly the American Craft Museum, moved to its new home at 2 Columbus Circle in Manhattan in September 2008.

The Museum of Arts and Design’s first exhibitions opens tomorrow and one of the exhibitions, “Second Lives”, includes Jean Shin’s awesome piece entitled “Sound Wave”.

Brilliant.

Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary features work by 50 international established and emerging artists from all five continents who create objects and installations comprised of ordinary and everyday manufactured articles, most originally made for another functional purpose.
