Kymapetra
The singing stones
scenocosme : Gregory Lasserre & Anais met den Ancxt
Sometimes we have some special attention with certain minerals and stones. Their various forms are forged by time. Broken, polished, composite or fossilized, each one have natural vibration, and history. Certain legends, explain that stones can sing or have energy.
In the interactive installation kymapetra we have an artistic and poetic approach on these various beliefs.
The artwork is made of 5 stones and a central basin with water.
The spectator, while puts his hand above a stone, enters in resonance with it. The light touch body/matter is transformed into sound vibrations. Those become visible at the water surface in a myriad of ripple. The propagation of the acoustic vibrations at water surface then draws geometrical composition. The figures vary according to the intensities of the contact between the person and the stones.
