BEATBALLS
Client: Tomas Mazetti
Prototyping & Industrial Design
Task
“Use the entire class of 54 interactive art directors to create something, anything, in two weeks to go viral.”
MEATBALLS
We created an algorithm and a machine that translates music into – meatballs. The project gained massive amounts of publicity worldwide, and was featured on the American tv-show Queen Latifah.

MUSIC TASTE
Through a combination of programming, design, and just the right amount of absurdity, we have developed a code that can convert music into flavors. More specifically, a code that translates music into different recipes for meatballs
HOW IT WORKS
Each song’s unique blend of tempo, cadence, mood, and key, among other elements, defines the ingredients for a meatball that tastes like the song.
Meatballs Taste Experts
Our taste experts behind Beatballs analyzed how various music attributes can be expressed through tastes, taking into consideration the social, cultural, and historical associations of both food and music.
PROTOTYPE DESIGN
I was working with the prototype group that was creating machine form scratch.
we started with design thinking and used some ideation methods to come with a suitable solution to express our imagination.
THE MACHINE
The machine, powered by two Arduinos, to create motion into the engineered part will mix different ingredients and cooked a meatball out of them.
