Exhibition: Dianne Verdonk, Michelle Vossen & Roald van Dillewijn
Sounds Like Touch
Dianne Verdonk, Michelle Vossen and Roald van Dillewijn present and perform their new interactive installation bromwol. Literally meaning humming wool, they have mainly experimented with carded wool mixed with conductive fibres to create fuzzy interfaces for musical performance. Dianne & Roald will both perform with bromwol; when bromwol is not being performed the audience is invited to try it out for themselves.
bromwol is supported by Sounds Like Touch, a springboard for artists, designers and creators who like to make electronic, performative arts by using their body for interaction. To be able to do this, many different expertises are needed. That is why Sounds Like Touch connects makers with different skill sets for collaboration and exchange of knowledge.
Michelle Vossen is a Utrecht-based interdisciplinary designer and educator working with textiles and technology. Her practice revolves around the combination of textiles with technology in the form of soft sensors, using various manual and machine textile techniques. She combines this with electronic components, microcontrollers and code into interactive works.
Dianne Verdonk is a performer, composer and instrument designer who seeks the ultimate, personal form of musical expression by using bodily interaction as a fundamental element. Dianne founded the Utrecht-based Sounds Like Touch Foundation, a platform for artists who experiment with bodily interaction in electronic music and art.
Roald van Dillewijn is a sound artist, creative coder, designer and lecturer from the Netherlands who aims to work on a new view of designing sounds and letting them interact in a fascinating way. The tools to create sounds are found in creative software design, and hacking and designing electronic instruments.
