A tarpaulin-covered cube with changing colours and sound frequencies inside the exhibition space was the beginning. But the duo have also devised an intermediary space, to put their visitors in the right situation before they enter the coloured cube. The visitors indicated their current emotional state with a cross in a diagram, and than enter the light and sound based created atmosphere that Samuel and Sofia produce regard to the emotional state of the the visiter before them wo had indicated in the diagram: so each entry will influence the next.

These young upcoming artists are developing an art of
sensory experience that oscillates between obvious plastic
manifestations and imperceptible emotional vibrations.

These young upcoming artists are developing an art of sensory experience that oscillates between obvious plastic manifestations and imperceptible emotional vibrations. The choice of simple materials (tarpaulins, battens, LED lights, recycled speakers) combined with a simple presentation underpins both a direct sharing with audiences and a conscious and unconscious manipulation of the body's chemistry. Samuel Nguyen and Sofia Zafiridou have thus combined their practice of art as a constantly evolving place of exchange in contact with the people who experiment.
