THE BLACK COAT is an interactive installation where the body activates a wearable system that transforms the act of dressing into layered sound.
Dressing oneself, a universal daily act, here becomes an act of creation.
The choice of a black coat, free from chromatic distraction, invites introspection. This interactive coat acts as an extension of the wearer’s aura, translating movements into a singular sonic composition. By adding or removing elements such as the pocket, sleeve or collar, the participant activates rhythms, melodies or textures that respond in real time to their gestures.
