Sound

The Mars E-Textile pieces are accompanied by a 1-minute promotional video that provides a visual representation of how the two pieces function when they’re worn on the human body. At the exhibit, a tablet with headphones display the promotional video, giving the viewers a more intimate showcase. Therefore, the sound from the video does not conflict with other pieces that have sound. The sound design of the promotional video consists of ambient noise and musical hints to emulate a light extraterrestrial atmosphere. There is no narration of the piece, so audience members without headphones to hear this aural accompaniment are also be able to engage in the experience brought by the promotional video in a different way.
