"Lights contacts"

An interactive sound installation with body and skin from public

"Lights Contacts" is an interactive artwork perceptible by two people or more. This sensory installation is tactile, luminous and sonorous. It proposes an original and interactive staging among spectators’ bodies. They are transformed into real sonorous human instruments. In a poetic way, we invite the spectator to question the perception of the other one.

This artwork is composed by a small interactive shiny ball. A first person is invited to put his hand on the shiny ball. In contact with this object, his body gets sensitive and reactive to other living bodies. If the person remains alone, nothing happens, there is no reaction. He must invite another person to touch him. They must touch each other’s skin. For example, they can shake hands, caress or kiss each other. Each touch generates variable sounds. The various sonorous vibrations change with the proximity of contacts and spectators.
