Blinged-out grills may be so early 2000s, but that might all change thanks to the Play-A-Grill. A high-tech version of the bejeweled mouthpieces often associated with hardcore rappers, hip hop artists and wannabe thugs, it plays music—perhaps even from the artists that inspired the rise of these grills in the first place.
Conceived and invented by artist Aisen Caro Chacin, a student at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, she writes that the Play-A-Grill “presents a perfect opportunity to merge an arbitrary music fashion object and reintroduce it as the music player itself.” Controlled by the tongue, the Play-A-Grill is equipped with a vibrating motor that is strong enough for people to hear the music through their skulls.
