Dreaming a Fingertip Conversation with You _ tactuaL [si:gak] series is about presenting an approach
through the view-point of this generation's visually handicapped, and their perception of the world.

By touching the tactile dots of the installation through one's finger tips, spectators can read a sentence that
appears on the computational handling hardware. Those who have never experienced visually handicapped
conditions will communicate with this artwork in a different way. Through this interactive process,
people (generally called the public) can understand the visually handicapped.

The hardware consists of three parts; the input section, which is touch sensor connected to object, Wiring I/O board,
which mediates signals in between, and the output section of Display and Sound output. These installations use the software, the Processing Language that implements dynamic graphics on display panel and the Wiring, a hardware-controlling program contained inside of the Wiring I/O board. The input signal from the touch sensor, which senses the static electricity of fingertips, an transform into LED power control output signal or Sound output signal in Wiring.

Also in Processing, signal from serial port gives direct affect on elements of constituent changes.
In the interaction process, audience can communicate with the work that implements into dynamic image, sound and text contain message.
