Kymapetra
The singing stones / Interactive Installation (2008)
Through a poetic approach, paying special attention to certain minerals and stones; their various forms forged by time, broken, polished, composite or fossilized, each with a natural vibration and history, the
interactive installation Kymapetra invites the spectator to touch and enter in resonance with the stones, making them visible on the water’s surface.
Five stones surround a bowl filled with water. When a visitor places his hand above a stone, it creates sonorous vibrations at water surface. Those become visible at the water surface in a myriad of ripple.
These geometrical drawings made of small waves vary according to the intensities of the contact between the person and the stones.
