The interactive sound installation Ø is a continuation of an earlier exploration of the relationship between the Universe and man, sound and space, the materialization of noise and the localization of the infinity of sounds in the expanse of space. The work consists of a trunk of an old Istrian olive tree, brought down by the forces of nature, polished using the Japanese technique of revealing the growth rings. The visitor is invited to gently touch the time of the tree and activate the sounds, noises and harmonies. The object becomes a musical instrument with a multitude of combination.
