"Perceptrum operates at the intersection of visual art, sound, and philosophy, yet resists being fully contained by any of these disciplines. Their central work, the Sounding Canvas, is not merely an innovation in interactive art; it is a redefinition of what painting is, and more importantly, what it can become."
"When you encounter one of these paintings, you are immediately drawn into a sensory dialogue, where the boundary between observer and artwork dissolves, and every touch releases a subtle, evolving soundscape that feels at once intimate, unpredictable, and deeply alive."
"Dora Motèque recalls sensing that objects, broken toys, abandoned furniture, carried a kind of latent presence. Not metaphorically, but relationally. They could be 'cared for,' even comforted, through attention."
"Perceptrum reverses traditional gallery culture, where the relationship between viewer and artwork is governed by distance. Touch is not only allowed, but it is also required."
Perceptrum, founded by Dora Motèque and Luciano Ciamarone, challenges traditional art interaction by allowing viewers to touch paintings. This tactile engagement creates a sensory dialogue, where each touch produces a unique soundscape. The Sounding Canvas redefines the concept of painting, transforming it from a static object into an interactive entity. The project is rooted in Motèque's childhood intuition that objects possess a relational presence, advocating for a new understanding of art as capable of dialogue and interaction.
