Everyday objects on your desk can dance

Julien Vallée is an amazing designer based in Montreal. He has created Danse Dance, an extremely fun way to interact with the objects on his desk by using your keyboard. Use each letter key to control an object and its move, click the letter again to make it stop, or create a symphony of movements and sounds with as many objects as you desire.

I’ve embedded the making-of video so you too can be amazed by the process.

Here’s a synopsis from the artist himself:

Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time? We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.
This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time.
