The workshop is a part of a three-year project LUMSON - revealing the inaudible with piezoelectricity, AI, voices and luminescence. Initiated by Aernoudt Jacobs and iMAL with IMO-IMOMEC, FARI and De Hoge Rielen in which we develop an artistic and collective framework around inaudible frequencies, voices, sound synthesis, artificial intelligence, and the material research of a luminous speaker film.
In this workshop, participants will gain insight into the very structure and construction of a flexible luminescent speaker film. Through hands-on experimentation, the speaker film will be built layer by layer. In addition, participants can experience the interaction between shape, motion, light/color and spatial sound with their own unique designs. Since the speaker is a flat film, the approach to sound, perception and shape is a very singular and innovative experience.
Unique designs by participants are thus encouraged during the workshop to achieve richer and more varied outcomes.
The results of the experiments will be contextualized and presented with a collective exhibition after the workshop.

I am preparing a new version of Glass Vibration Gaze.
This time, a multi-channel version of the installation will be presented. 
Air manifolds will allow the audience to attune to different repetitive psychoacoustic patterns generated in a 4 x 4 matrix of 16 windows.

The installation will be on view from april 7th in The Hague during the Re-wire festival program Proximity Music and extended until April 23rd. This is a joint exhibition program initiated in 2021 by iii and Re-wire, which seeks to connect music, architecture, technology, ritual, and play through physical experiences engaging with all the senses.

INFRAULTRA is a commission from the City of Liège for a new sound composition for the Cybernetic Tower - an artwork by the Franco-Hungarian artist Nicolas Schöffer at the Parc de la Boverie.
The sound composition is based on vocalisations of inaudible electromagnetic frequencies that are present around us.

Vocalisations by Yannick Guédon

The inauguration and listening sessions will take place during the festival Images Sonores in april/may 2020.

In 2019, Heliophone is being upgraded.

The parabolic lens, which is the heart of the installation that focusses light into a tiny spot has been re-engineered and re-produced to optimise efficiency in light concentration. 
The original CPC was casted from aluminium in 2015. The surface accuracy was not consistent for our needs. This meant that the efficiency of the CPC was not up to par. 
We looked into alternative production methods that could give a more consistent result and also a more ecologic production method. We produced a new CPC with the a relative new technology called ISF (incremental sheet metal forming). The technology enables higher precision. It is a technique where a sheet is formed into the final workpiece by a series of small incremental deformations. The sheet was formed by a round tipped tool. The tool, which was attached to a robot arm, indents into the sheet by about 1 mm and follows a contour of the CPC part. It then indents further and draws the next contour for the part into the sheet and continues to do this until the full part is formed. After this the parts are cutted with a water jet cutter.
