It was published in 2016 by sergey kasich. Recently it was exhibited in The Workings of Media [art and artists] exhibition at the Harvestworks Art and Technology House on Governors island.
The fFlower has shown around the world in forms of installations, seminars and FrR-parties, stimulating people to try it and also provoking to build their own in a spirit of d.i.y. fFlower – is one of many possible interfaces in which the fingerRing technique can be implemented. It uses spline exponential curved contact surfaces to connect natural kinematics of a performer with the spatial sound distribution. More info is published here: http://soundartist.ru/frr
