Augmented Paper

Organic Orchestra · collective residency with 30 artists · 2015 · Abbaye de Vivoin, France

Our role Kinetic sculpture, technical support for the artists.

A collective residency by the Organic Orchestra company, led by Ezra, with some thirty artists living on site, in caravans, in Vivoin, in the Sarthe. The theme: augmented paper. Exploring the borders between physical matter, print and digital interaction, a research on the object as a medium for sensory experience, between the craftsman’s gesture and code.

Maya Benaïnous designed and built a motorised kinetic sculpture. With Cyril Laurier, she also provided technical support to the other artists on their prototypes.

The residency opened up to the local public, with school visits, workshops and performances.
