Description:
Supermono is a multi-piece sculpture based on mono audio signals in which three embedded microphones pickup signals which are then processed and re-routed to other objects.

The toy-like, soft, and plush sculptures from these cycles consist of several non-linear sound and video systems. They recode events as a data stream of glitch sounds. They embody the main features of contemporary toys by means of close personal contact through touch, simplified cute shapes, and the construction of micro-worlds through modularity and limited, mostly sound-based interactivity. Extagram/Oscilo sculptures are built through a bending of visual and sound data via generated and routed signals. By touching and moving the stuffed toy-like objects, visitors create or affect the already existing sound. Objects are de-characterized by an absence of any facial features and by the uniformity of the black fleece texture they are made of. They are variable in terms of dimension, entirely hand-made and hand-sewn, stuffed with sanitary cotton and contain various electronic components that generate sound and video output. The paradox of the interactivity of this series is explored by assigning almost indistinguishable sounds that become noise whenever there is an interaction with the sound sculptures.
