"Making Fun Serious" is a exhibition showing the results of a collaboration between Yamaha and the Royal College of Art, to be held at the Futuresonic in Manchester from the 13th to the 23rd of May.
The exhibition is composed of 9 proposals that examine how a device can increase people's abilities and capabilities to turn them into a performer. Also, it explores new ways to help everyday communication within new sound dialogues and performances.
The research takes various directions, including the expansion of familiar object possibilities such as books or typewriters by finding their musical side. Another one enhances the performance quality of digital music players, while yet another is a sound device idea for public spaces.
More information can also be found on the "RCA Exhibition 2009" section of the Yamaha design web site.
