Matières sensibles (Sensitive matters) Sound Sculpture on wood / Interactive marquetry & Bio hacking
Full Description
Sensitive matter is a serie of sculptures made of very thin and delicate wood veneer sheets. These sheets of wood have distinct sonorous touch zones that follow the natural veins of wood. Our research have enabled us to develop an artistic and technical process invisible and delicate. A meticulous and invisible design work gives us the ability to define a musical score spread over different areas of the wood. We invented this process of Bio hacking that we call "interactive marquetry".
Our wood Sculpture produce sounds when the spectators touch them. We use sounds to stimulate haptic and gestural behavior.
These wood sculptures offer a sensory and intimate relationship between the wood and the body of the viewer by revealing a sound memory in physical contact with the matter.

Artist Statement
Since many years, we invent interactive works, with natural elements and the body of spectators. In this artwork, we use wood as a sensitive interactive surface. The electrostatic energy of the human body is the trigger for this artwork. Interactive zones follow exactly the veins of wood.
