Phonofolium Tetraedre
Interactive trees generating lights and sounds
scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt

Phonofolium Tetraedre is an interactive artwork with 3 living trees reacting to the human touch by sounds and lights. Several sound and light characters are revealed when the audience is touching or stroking lightly them. The intensity of light’s variations evolves according to the intensity of the human contact with the trees.
The interactions of people with the trees illuminate and highlight a tetraedre light structure in front of the trees. Each face of the structure is connected to a tree. The intensity and color of the light of each face evolves according to the interaction with the tree.

Phonofolium lets us know about their existence by a scream, a melody and a lighting vibration. Sound characters and lights generate various feelings and influence feedbacks of audience.

The scenography of this artwork will enhance the environment that surround it through several scenarios of sounds and light’s tints.
The diversity of these scenarios and the unpredictable interactivity of visitors will generate a dynamic, warm, and poetic environment. Through interactions with the tree, this installation invites audience to think about our contemporary relationships with our natural environment. It creates a space time of poetic relations and exchanges between people, beyond a basic connection.

In their artwork, the artists Scenocosme create hybrids between plants and digital technology. They use plants like natural sensors sensitive to the electrostatic energy of the human body. In this kind of artworks, the technology disappears in order to enhance sensory relations and to augment senses. The spectators share extraordinary sensory experiences.
