The Automatphone Have you ever wondered what a picture or drawing sounds like? The Automatphone scans for light and dark areas on paper and uses the information to make a song based on the variables in the drawing. I designed and built the Automaphone as a way to explore the sounds that can automatically be created by a simple devices with only very basic human input. The Automaphone is made from an old printer mechanism, old electronics parts and reclaimed or off cut pieces of wood.
