Trapped In Suburbia, a Bureau for Visual Communication from The Hague and David Van Gemeren, a graphic designer created this incredible series of Sound Posters.

The first sound poster is created by conductive ink and a synthesizer, when audience touches the poster, the circuit will be closed and it will generate sound. I am intrigued by how conductive ink is used here to create beautiful graphics that symbolizes the music that it will create. I think the experiences that allow audiences to not only see but to interact with posters to produce different responses brings a new dimension of play into the graphic world.

Sound poster 3.0 was also very surprising to me, they used ink made out of gun powder to communicate human’s desire to touch the button that says “can’t touch this”. The touch will start up a fire which makes its way around the poster to end at the button and explodes. I think it’s such a unique way to communicate the message.
