The Worlds Biggest Keyboard!

- The keyboard is actually a interactive sculpture titled TEXTile, and was a collabortion between Jean Shin and The Fabric Workshop and Museum of Philadelphia. The sculpture is made of 22,528 recycled keycaps and 192 custom keycaps, fabric, customized active keyboard and interactive software, video projection and painted aluminum armatures. The real intersting part about the piece is that the keys spell out a line-by-line transcript of the email correspondence between the artist and the fabricators regarding the making of the piece, which means the sculpture actually documents its own making.
