This work aims to visualize sound and music through the dynamic motion of tentacle-like actuators. The actuator bends smoothly and is driven by BioMetal fiber, a shape-memory alloy wire. By synchronizing their movement with sound, we seek to create an embodied expression reminiscent of a living creature dancing to music.
