Abstract	Interactive installations today typically limit the interaction by allowing only one active user at a time, and are commonly based on traditional forms of user input (i.e., keyboards, trackballs, touchscreens, etc.). This paper describes InterÉlastique, a system which allows collaborative tangible interactions through a set of innovative stretchy sensors called eRopes. The system represents an exploration of the relationship between music, poetry/text, visual elements, and physical space. The aim of the system is to allow users to learn about properties of music, and explore relationships between individual musical fragments and the overall composition – without having to learn a system of complex mappings. Users are presented with two projection screens that are "connected" with six eRopes. By pulling these eRopes, the users change the music as well as the relationship between the textual elements on each of the screens. Multiple users can collaborate, modifying poetry and music interdependently, based on the combination of the different eRope's signals. The installation is composed of the eRopes and their related electronics, several MIDI synthesizers, two projectors, and a computer running the InterÉlastique application, which provides audio-visual feedback to the participants. 1 eRopes (Patent Pending) are electronically active tensile sensors. We have developed this technology in cooperation with Saul Griffith, using a novel technique wherein conductive fibers are braided into the sheath of a bungee cord in order to determine the tension applied to it.
