该作品是由新媒体/声音艺术家h0nh1m（Chris Cheung）和国际获奖获得者COLLECTIVE建筑设计工作室合作完成的互动式装置，该装置将多种乐器合并到一起，对它们的形式、视觉效果和互动体验进行了重新诠释。
The latest interactive installation by h0nh1m (Chris Cheung), a new media / sound artist (previously led his studio XEX to create Prismverse) and COLLECTIVE, an international award winning architecture design studio, is an reinterpretation of various musical instruments juxtapose with each other in its form, visual feedback and interactive engagement.

“触觉”一词源自希腊语“haptikos”，意为通过接触接感受的信息都是触觉，就像在这个装置中出现的那样，基于动作交流（表达力量或位置），即通过手动操作带动视上的觉演示和声音上的变化，使观众感受到熟知的反馈，并学习如何操作该乐器。
‘Haptic’ originates from the greek word ‘haptikos’: any sort of information received through touch is haptic, as it appears in this installation, it is based on kinesthetic (expressing force or position) communication, in which the motion of the hand initiates visual displays and sound variations, thus allowing audiences to receive familiar feedbacks to learn how to operate the installation as an instrument.

创意组合COLLECTIVE和h0nh1m设计的这个“触觉风琴”，旨在使音乐可触、可观、可共享，以鼓励在圣诞节期间能有更多的互动。
The creative duo COLLECTIVE and h0nh1m designed Haptic Organ with an intention to make music tangible, visible, sharable among each other to encourage group interactive moments in celebration of the Christmas season.
这是一个4米高的螺旋式乐器，上面附有可识别的弦乐元素。这件乐器是通过在非接触式触觉界面上挥动手势，来调节音符的，它像管风琴一样，每20跟透明管状物缠绕在一个螺旋物上，每个透明管状物内都装有一个金属球，通过挥动手势带动的空气运动可以使在管内的金属球上下运动; 操作者可以看到金属球的运动，并可以通过八个传感器随意调整即兴创作的音乐。另外的弦乐，木管乐器，竖琴和雪橇铃的音调也是通过在触觉界面上方上下挥动手势来控制音量的。
It is in the form of a 4-meter tall spiraling instrument with the recognizable elements of the strings; music notes are prompted with the aid of the non-contact haptic interface that detects hands movement in the air, while each of the 20 transparent tubes, like a pipe organ, wrap round the spiral, each encased with a metallic ball which rises up and down, dancing inside the tube through initiated air movement by hand motion; users received the visual feedback of dancing balls and can freely improvise his or her music with the aid of eight sensors giving eight notes across an octave, in addition to four that gives tones of musical instruments like strings, woodwinds, harps and sleigh bells, with volume controllable with ascending and descending movements of the hands over the haptic interfaces.
▼演奏过程，Playing process
h0nh1m以创作的音乐表达着圣诞期间喜悦和和平祝愿。借用约翰·列侬和小野洋子创作的“快乐圣诞（战争结束）”的旋律，宣扬和平行动主义：期望和平、平等的道来，和战争、歧视的结束。
h0nh1m creates the music as a blessing for joy and peace in the Christmas season. Borrowing the melody of ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over)’ written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, it was a work of peace activism, looking towards for peace, equality, the end of wars and discrimination.
