Upcycled and Remixed: A Community-Built Installation at Pitsea Market

Upcycled and Remixed was a community art project celebrating the Essex town of Pitsea. Run by Frazer Merrick who runs Clip in Colcehster, UK: https://www.clipsoundandmusic.uk/
Frazer collaborated with textiles artist Rachel Jefferson to design a series of workshops where residents would come together to create an interactive tapestry from found materials and sound, where everyday waste would be transformed through textile making and creative technology into a playable artwork that celebrates place, sustainability, and community creativity.
The project used SPOKE as the technology to make chains touch-sensors to trigger sounds.“The chains on the edges of the stall mimicked the way market stall holders hang hangers – except we made ours interactive, playing sampled sounds of the nearby pedestrian crossing chime.”
