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.
