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.
