What did you create?

Usually people emit words and voices with the consciousness that he/she is sending them to the interlocutor. “Shuttlecock verbals” is a device that visualizes the effect of user's words and voices, and make the user experience the influence of words and voices by focusing on spoken words of his/her own.

In this world, there are numerous situations that we cannot help feeling our words and voices will never reach. One might be in an environment that conditions never improve how hard he/she plead, or a situation that he/she can do nothing but keep silence being blocked by firm barrier. But words essentially have the power to convey and they fly around the world physically or as a data. In this device, feathers cast light and shake itself as if they are responding to your words and voice. The louder your voices are, feathers will respond more strongly. They express the proper condition of the power that your words and voice have. I hope they feel it.

A small microphone is attached to each feather. When the user speaks and his/her voice is inputted to the microphone, feathers will shake. Feathers will keep bending down according to volume and time length that user input.
