Florida design practice MONAD Studio's focus is rhythmic affect at all scales. Having already experimented with 3D‐printed musical instruments, they embarked upon SONIFICA: a collaboration with interaction designer Anouk Wipprecht and the world's first ‘bionic’ pop singer, Viktoria Modesta. Sensors and actuators in a sonic bustier, and an integrated accelerometer in a prosthetic leg, transform Modesta into a living musical instrument. MONAD Studio cofounder Eric Goldemberg outlines how this was achieved and argues that it is reflective of a new mode of expression, defined and driven by transdisciplinarity.
