Within the European project USES2, Scenocosme collaborated with the doctoral candidates to transform scientific sensing technologies into artistic creations.

By integrating advanced ultrasonic and seismic embedded sensors into interactive installations, this collaboration:

• Reveals hidden vibrations of materials and structures

• Translates structural signals into sound and light

• Bridges structural health monitoring and artistic expression

• Encourages doctoral researchers to explore creativity beyond traditional scientific frameworks

This partnership embodies USES2’s commitment to interdisciplinary innovation and creative dissemination.

In this collaboration, scientific instrumentation becomes a poetic medium. Signals typically used for infrastructure monitoring are reinterpreted as artistic material.

Structural vibrations are no longer only diagnostic data — they become soundscapes, light pulses, and interactive responses.

This approach expands the perception of infrastructure, turning engineered systems into living, responsive presences.

During the USES2 Training School, Scenocosme will present an exclusive exhibition showcasing the artworks developed in collaboration with the doctoral candidates.

Visitors will experience:

• Interactive installations powered by USES2 sensor technologies

• Real-time translation of structural data into artistic forms

• A dialogue between engineering precision and sensory perception

This exhibition demonstrates how advanced sensing research can engage wider audiences through experiential formats.

Location: Exhibition during the USES2 Training School : Université Gustave Eiffel Nantes campus
Dates: 27-29 May 2026

Experience how sensors move beyond monitoring — and become instruments of perception.
