App(e)a(l)ling
I create haptic interfaces that mediate light and sound. By
interconnecting vision, hearing and touch, our visual world in
which touch plays an inferior role is temporarily moved aside.
It’s an interplay among the senses in which the inanimate and
animate, the static and the everlasting changing world, and the
organic and inorganic are sensed and questioned. My work
therefore becomes an instrument with which to playfully
search for boundaries and balance.
The visitor is invited to touch with hesitation and to hesitate through touch.
