shapes for statics
(2008)

This installation
is made of 120 cubic objects which are constructions and permutations
based on crystal shapes. These objects emits a sound matter which
is mainly coming from natural radio signals (VLF or Very Low Frequencies).
It is a constant wave signal generated by multiple electric and magnetic
activities in earth atmosphere and beyond. Lightnings happening in
a large perimeter around the listener are producing a sonic activity
in constant evolution (the statics), omnipresent but inaudible without
the appropriate radio receiver. The installation makes this phenomenon
perceptible through an environment where a set of volumes, cubes and
octahedrons combinations are set up on the floor. Some are sounding
objects and some are silent ones.
