Ton in Ton


Ton in Ton found its origin in the installation Behind the Scenes. In a small alley in Venice Melis Günoglu and I interrupted the day to day life of those passing by. We confronted them with a question: Where can we find moments that shift our focus and show us something special, hidden behind everyday life?

The sensory world in its entirety is the ultimate experience, sometimes overwhelming, always a confrontation with an abundance of stimuli waiting to be decoded. Now, what happens, when the surrounding stimuli are limited to just one: sounds? Artists and designers have always sought to direct the eye of their recipients. Sometimes this is achieved by reducing the visual output and focussing on something special. By visualizing the sensory perception of sounds we open up a world that would have remained hidden without this focus.
