BEYOND SIGNAL #16 : “RECLINING NUDE” JENNY PICKETT (UK/FR)
Beyond drawing, Jenny Pickett questions the nude genre with a
crossdisciplinary attitude. Portaits & drawings are developed through
sound and image. Astract forms that become soft furnishings. Reclining Nude is a series of upholstered sound sculptures referring
to the de-constructed body through objectification and/or dehumanisation
by various means – The Body is reconstructed through spacial Sound
drawings or re-materialise as felt vibrations of the viewer when in
contact with certain works.
Jenny Pickett is an interactive video, installation & sound artist –
works at APO33, a Nantes based research lab. She mixes puredata and
other FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) tools & DIY electronics with discarded objects & electronic hardware to create installations and
sculptures that often react or interact with an audience or an environment.
APO33, as an interdisciplinary laboratory drawing on the artistic and
technological fields, fosters various collective projects associating
research, experimentation and social intervention.
In the continuity of the dynamics that has been opened by the free
software movement, apo33 is structured as a modular space, initiating
collaborative projects and creative processes, as well as exploring new
artistic and creative modes of production and diffusion
CONFERENCE – Tuesday, 21st of September
“Les paysage sonore du corps”
Jenny Pickett will give a talk on her installation at Apo33 and concepts

Human Body. What is the most immediate and short meeting between those
two objects? A physical blow.”-
