Phonofolium is an interactive artwork featuring a living tree that reacts to human touch by producing sound—a voice. Activated by the electrostatic energy of nearby spectators, the tree’s “language” comes to life, singing when it is touched or lightly stroked.
Created by Scenocosme, the piece creates hybrids between plants with digital technology. Plants serve as natural sensors, sensitive to various energy flows, while digital technology links them to sound. As spectators move around and interact with the installation, they generate a random musical universe, altering sound effects and textures through their touch.
This interaction reveals a unique vegetal language through sonorous compositions, offering feedback that influences how spectators feel and respond. Blurring the lines between reality and imagination, Scenocosme creates a sensory experience that prompts reflection on our often unseen relationships with other living beings.
Scenocosme – Gregory Lasserre & Anais met den Ancxt
The couple artists Gregory Lasserre and Anais met den Ancxt work under the name Scenocosme. They live in the Rhone-Alpes region in France.
Their singular artworks use diverse expressions: interactive installations, visual art, digital art, sound art, collective performances, etc. Scenocosme mix art and digital technology to find substances of dreams, poetry, sensitivity, and delicacy. The artists overturn various technologies to create contemporary artworks. Their works come from possible hybridizations between technology and the living world (plants, stones, water, wood, humans), of which the meeting points incite them to invent sensitive and poetic languages. Most of their interactive artworks explore multiple sensorial relationships between the body and the environment. They trace energetic variations of living beings and design interactive stagings in which spectators share extraordinary sensory experiences.
Their work has been exhibited in numerous museums, contemporary art centers, and digital art festivals around the world.
