For this installation, he worked on sound interpretation of signals obtained with Magnetic Nuclear Resonance, an instrument used in the study of atomic environments in liquids and solids. The output frequencies produced in this analysis can resonate, according to the studied atom, in the frequency domain and are used to realize an original sound synthesis method en real time, in collaboration with the Italian researcher Carmine Emanuele Cella.
