‘versus’ by David Letellier (kinetic sound sculpture - VIDEO)
artist david letellierhas developed a kinetic sound sculpture entitled ‘versus’. the piece consists of two fan-like components placed on two walls facing one another within a small gallery space. both units are built from twelve triangular, hinged panels arranged in a circle around a loudspeaker and microphone, powered by six linear actuators moved by a digitized system. ‘versus’ works in the way that one piece emits a small sound to which the other simultaneously records and analyzes this noise, then spinning and shifting according to the frequency of the initial tone. the second sculpture now plays back the recorded sound including any errors from disturbances of sound observed in the space by the influence of visitors. the altered sound continues to play back and forth between the two pieces, building upon the tone just before. the communication occurring between the sculptures becomes a degraded entity, adding to depth and complexity to the work then superseding the power of the basic form of the structure, now existing as a mutating, independently forming piece within the gallery space.

Aérial by French artist Baptiste Debombourg flows like a monumental wave of broken glass into the Column Hall of the former Benedictine abbey ‘Brauweiler’ in Cologne. Carrying with it the light that passes measured through the windows. The crystalline structure of the Broken seems petrified, frozen in a moment of unrestrained movement. It took about 420 hours and two tons of glass to complete the project. Baptiste Debombourg explained ‘the mind is everything. The material is the servant of spiritual.’
