A polyphonic sculpture measuring eleven metres in diameter, Cycloïd-E comprises a structure of horizontally articulated metal tubes equipped with sound sources and measuring instruments which make them resonate according to their rotations in a succession of unforeseeable movements. A complex performance sculpture, Cycloïd-E performs a hypnotic dance, pervading the surrounding space with spectral sounds to produce an exceptional kinetic-polyphonic work. The Cod.Act duo has received several international awards for this piece: Prix Ars Electronica - Distinction Award 2010; 14th Japan Media Arts Festival - Grand Prize 2010; Prix CYNEART 2010.
