Sensum

Alexandre Saunier (FR, QC, CA)

Sensum is an instrument to experiment with the sensory effects of LED light. It consists of a helmet that triggers the sense of sight through dynamic patterns of color, intensity, and movement. It explores how digital technologies offer algorithmic properties and lighting possibilities that alter our physiological condition and generate new sensations.

Sensum provokes lived experiences that range from visual illusions to complex cross-sensorial effects, haptic hallucinations, and time distortions.
