Julien Bayle

Julien Bayle owns his Master Degree of biology & computer sciences in 2000. After several years in pure IT System Design, he founded Design the Media early 2010 in order to provide his own courses, training & tools for art fields. As a digital artist, he designed some huge new media art installations, like the permanent exhibition of La Maison des Cinématographies de la Méditerranée (Château de la Buzine) in Marseille, France, in 2011. He also works as a new media technology consultant for some private & public entities. As an A/V live performer, he plays his cold electronic music from New York to Marseille, where he actually lives. Arduino framework is one of his first electronic hardware studies early 2005 and he designed the famous protodeck controller with some opensource framework too. As an art & technology teacher, also certified by Ableton in 2010, he teaches a lot of courses about the digital audio workstation named Ableton Live, about the real-time graphical programming framework Max6 and also about Processing and Arduino. As a minimalist digital artist, he works at the crossroads of sound, visual and data. He explores relationships between sounds and visuals through his immersive A/V installations, his live performances and his released music. His work, often described as “complex, intrigating and relevant”, tries to break classical codes to bring audience a new vision of our world through his pure digital and real-time generated stimuli. He's deeply involved in the open source community and loves to share and provide workshops and masterclasses online and on-site too. His personal website is http://julienbayle.net.

Making things vibrate


One of the simplest projects we can introduce here is the use of a small piezoelectric sensor.

This is the first basic tangible action we design here. Of course, we already designed many of the visual feedback, but this is our first real-world object that moves the firmware.

This kind of feedback can be very useful in nonvisual contexts. I designed a small project for a person who wanted to send a feedback to visitors in his reactive installation. The visitor had to put on a t-shirt that included some electronics attached, such as a LilyPad and some piezoelectric sensors. The LED feedback wasn't the solution we used before to send feedback to the wearer, and we decided to send a vibration. These piezoelectric sensors were distributed on each side of the t-shirt to produce different feedback in response to different interactions.

But wouldn't I have made a mistake talking about sensors vibrating?

The piezoelectric sensor

A piezoelectric sensor is a component that uses the...
