| The National Bank of Belgium commissioned [[FoAM]] to create a proposal for an installation, to be included in the NBB's permanent art collection. The proposed artwork is a site-specific installation for the main underground thoroughfare of the NBB building. | The National Bank of Belgium commissioned [[FoAM]] to create a proposal for an installation, to be included in the NBB's permanent art collection.

| "Tech Nouveau" is a responsive audiovisual installation inspired by the surreal mélange of cultures and styles coexisting in Brussels. Six panels combining non-emissive visual displays, flat panel speakers and motion-sensors are deployed to generate the abstract imagery and ambient sound-scapes of "Tech Nouveau". | "Tech Nouveau" is a responsive audiovisual installation inspired by the surreal mélange of cultures and styles coexisting in Brussels.

| "Tech Nouveau" is an installation in which seemingly static line drawings can become animate, changing their geometry to respond to the movement of people through the corridor. The installation references the growth of plants and other organic forms, drawing upon the crafts of hand-drawing and pattern making, while using new technologies to make the work responsive to human activity. Different patterns of motion through the corridor change the configuration of images and sound in real time. In this media composition, a straight line begins to curve when it senses a person passing through the tunnel; a linear pattern transforms into a curvilinear design; a monotonous hum changes into a rich textural sound. The changes occur on the edge of perception - slowly and quietly, recognisable only to the people who want to pay attention to the changes. For all others, the images and sounds appear constant, static and permanent. | "Tech Nouveau" is an installation in which seemingly static line drawings can become animate, changing their geometry to respond to the movement of people through the corridor.
