Audiotactile Loungers at Résonance Nocturne: Restoring Music Perception Through Vibrations
The "Resonance Nocturne" project at the Museum of Art and History of Geneva featured three audio-tactile loungers designed by Master's students in Acoustic Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark: Tommer Tchelet, Brent Reissman, and Gabriele Ravissa. These loungers were equipped with broad-frequency response shakers to vibrate with low frequencies and radiate music, and some had dowels to stimulate the back and legs and sidebars for hand and forearm stimulation. Additionally, sympathetic bars transmitted vibrations to enhance resonance at higher frequencies.
Led by Raphael Ortis and Charotte Nordin, the project invited composers to a three-day residency each month to create music tailored for these loungers, culminating in a monthly concert. The exhibition ran for a year and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from audiences, as revealed by a survey conducted with the University of Geneva, highlighting the loungers' potential to create a unique and immersive auditory experience.
