Megatouch

hoog catharijne (mediamarkt) – until 21.30 hrs

Megatouch can be visited until approximately 9.30 pm, after which this part of Hoog Catharijne closes for the rest of the evening.

Megatouch is a 6×1 meter touch surface where visitors can discover hundreds of sounds, rhythms and animations, all perfectly synchronized. It is a collaborative musical instrument and visualizer that requires no prior knowledge. It is also a reflection on the fact that music is invisible. But with Megatouch, each sound and melody has its own visual expression.

Making music can create a connectedness as you create a new sound together. That sense of belonging is something that makes people feel at home. And for the Media Market, of course, you don’t make music with just acquaintances. You can do it together with strangers and therefore share this feeling with people you don’t yet know. 

“The table is the central place in a home, a place for social interaction with friends and families, but in this installation you might end up next to a stranger.”
