(the work is in progress)
The work is an interactive installation that combines Arduino, a temperature sensor and candles, with the aim of deconstructing and reconstructing a text through changing temperature. By lighting and extinguishing candles, the viewer influences the temperature and, consequently, the intensity and quality of the sound produced. The installation transforms temperature changes into sound stimuli, creating a dynamic listening experience.

The text used is the first story from Raymond Quenot’s book Exercises in Style, which explores different perspectives and ways of narrating the same event in 99 different ways. The use of candles incorporates symbolism related to memory, mourning and religious tradition, while the viewer’s interaction with them directly affects the sound effect, highlighting the relationship between human actions and the perception of reality. The experience of the work is constantly changing, highlighting the fragile nature of memory and storytelling through sound performance.

Giorgos Simeonidis was born in 1999 in Thessaloniki. In 2023, he graduated with honors (9.46/10) from the School of Fine Arts, Department of Visual and Applied Arts at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, specializing in painting under the supervision of Dimitris Zouroudis. In 2024, he began his postgraduate studies in the "Audiovisual Arts in the Digital Age" program at the Ionian University.  His research focuses on trauma, memory, and the family institution. His practice includes painting, collage, and performance, using materials such as oil pastels and leather. At the same time, he explores the communication between humans and the digital world—an interaction that seems to exist yet remains unfulfilled.
