Aether Weave

Air has texture. As hands pass through invisible aether, three layers of sound - deep hum, mid-range resonance, fingertip granules - are woven into a flowing fabric by the body.

About This Work

Weaving is one of humanity's oldest technologies. Aether Weave extends this gesture from the material world into the sonic realm: the viewer's hands become shuttles, and air becomes warp and weft. Arm speed stirs low-frequency currents, palm height draws mid-range tension, and hand distance controls the density of high-frequency granules - three layers interweave in real time, creating an unrepeatable sonic fabric.

Features

  • MediaPipe real-time hand detection & skeleton tracking
  • Three independent sound engines (low/mid/high)
  • Multi-dimensional mapping: speed, height, distance
  • Particle system synchronized visual feedback
  • Fullscreen immersive mode

How to Use

  1. Allow browser camera access
  2. Place both hands in front of the camera
  3. Wave hands to control low-frequency drone
  4. Raise/lower palms to control mid-range resonance
  5. Spread/close hands to control high-frequency granularity
