SAIC Student Bethany Childs Tempts The Fury Of Neptune

May 14, 2008
Bethany Childs and Electronic Conch Shell

Bethany Childs spoke with GW about Max/MSP compatible conch shell she designed as part of her Instrument Construction class at SAIC. Seems one of the biggest challenges was nabbing an appropriate conch shell on eBay for a reasonable price; no small order in today's oversaturated vintage exoskeleton market.

After our interview, she rode off on the backs of two bottle-nosed dolphins she had summoned.
