A Fleur de Peau (2003)
Audio-tactile installation by Lynn Pook
(A_FLEUR_de_PEAU_AFdP_Gallery-Bina-Ellen_photo-Eric-Matson_edit_web)
À Fleur de Peau is an audio installation in which each member of the audience experiences both tactile and auditory sensations throughout their entire body. The loudspeakers are positioned symmetrically throughout the body […] A 16-channel composition gives the impression that the sounds, and even the vibrations which they produce, are wandering around the body. The vibrations vary with the frequency of the sounds and the effects they produce can be either rhythmic or planar. […] http://www.lynnpook.net
[The installation “A Fleur de Peau” was selected for the International Media Art Award 2004 of ZKM/SWR (Germany)]

Angel Detector (1992)
Interactivity, Sound, Sculpture, Collaborations, Light and Shadow by Jakob Gautel and Jason Karaïndros
“Looking into the heart of light, the silence …” – T. S. Eliot
“Un ange passe” – this French expression is taken from the idea that a lull in a conversation occurs when an angel passes by. Silence has become rare in present society, haunted as it is by horror vacui.
The lamp inside the transparent dome only lights up when it is able to detect total silence in its vicinity.
The Angel Detector becomes a sort of lighthouse inviting a passing angel to rest for a moment.
A (silent) dialogue with the angel that has been thus attracted can begin.
Jakob Gautel and Jason Karaïndros

CONSTELLATION (1995)
Installation, Light and Shadow, Time by Jason Karaïndros
About twenty different flashlights on the floor light parts of the floor, walls and ceiling. The light rays produce auras of differents diametres and intensities, palpitating as the batteries get lower, dimming and extinguishing finally as dying stars. Every day batteries have to be changed, a real waste of energy.
Installation : flashlights.
First shown at the gallery le Triangle in Bordeaux in 1995, and again in 1997 at the IESA Paris, 1997, thanks to the participation of the students.

Imprint of Our Encounter (1992)
Portraits, Installation, Drawing, Time, Science, Performance, Lines / Variable dimensions.
How to draw double portraits, or how to ”photograph” yourself with your friends.
For my personal show at the Beaux-Arts Gallery in Paris in 1992, I tried out for the first time this installation. An armchair where visitors are invited to have a seat, a table with an electrocardiograph which the Cochin Hospital lent me graciously, and an action that takes consecutively place, with the visitors’ participation.
I pre-registered my own electrocardiograph and put the paper back in the machine. I then took the visitor’s electrocardiograph, printing it over mine, the lines running in parallel and sometimes crossing each other. Part of these two meeting lines is a gift for the visitor, the other is put up on the wall, encounter after encounter.
The work’s title could also be ”Affairs of the Heart”.
