Sound Art
Organa Sensuum at Gallery Ramfjord, Oslo
The interactive sound-art exhibition «Organ Sensuum» had it’s premiere at Gallery Ramfjord October the 8th 2011. The target of this work is to examine the artistic potential and relation between the human anatomy (the heart), mathematics and musical impulse. Pulse and velocity from the heart is derived by two separate analyses to create control data input to a meticulously programmed control system that engages four groups of instruments. These instruments have been designed according to the four groups: I Digestorium, II Respiratorium, III Cardiovasculare, IV Nervosum, all of them representing a different sonic expression.
With a stethoscope the audience can send their heartbeat through the system and thus create a unique «on-site» composition.
