With Resonanz, Telcosystems present an electronic book combining a series of visual artworks with sound. Incorporated in the structure of the book are sensors and electronics, providing each page with its own unique soundtrack, which can be listened to via speakers or headphones. While a score comes to life in sound, Resonanz presents sounds visualized in a series of rich and detailed visual narratives.

‘Resonanz is an electronic book that I had first dismissed. Until I tried it. As you turn the thick pages of the book, you encounter a different pattern along with a different soundtrack. It’s strangely hypnotizing. I turned and turned the pages, each time trying to think about the possible connections between the colours and patterns printed on the pages and the sound they emitted.’ — Régine Debatty we-make-money-not-art.com
