Lights Contacts is an interactive artwork perceptible by two people or more. This sensory installation is tactile and sonorous. It proposes an original and interactive staging among spectators’ bodies. They are transformed into real sonorous human instruments. In a poetic way, we invite the spectator to question the perception of the other one. This artwork is composed of a small interactive shiny ball. A first person is invited to put his hand on it. In contact with this shiny ball, his body gets sensitive and reactive to other living bodies. If the person remains alone, nothing happens, and there is no reaction. He must invite another person to touch him. They must touch each other’s skin. Each touch generates variable sounds and lights which evolve according to the proximity of contacts and spectators.

In this intimist artwork, the energetic clouds of bodies (electrostatic energy) are musically felt. Scenocosme artists propose a sensory experience with the other person’s body in order to animate what we cannot detect. In this situation, energetic contacts with other human bodies become sonorous. They want to provoke, to overturn degrees of proximity that we use in our relationships with known or unknown people.
