The BODY-SEED sculpture conveys the concept of the body as seed, the seed that metamorphoses into a body, and the encounter with this concept. The sculpture was created with the intention of being perceived by sight and touch, thus becoming an experience.

The sculpture’s visibility extends beyond physical proximity, as it can be experienced virtually through that interactive animation generated by three-dimensional scanning technology.

Interactive 3D exploration:

Tactile vision, a concept implied in the majority of Guido Dettoni‘s sculptures, involves the act of holding the sculptures in one’s hands to achieve a comprehensive perception of their form.
BODY-SEED aligns with his oeuvre of TACTILIA. The tactile dimension of these works is facilitated through manual exploration, whereby the fingers and palms of the hands act as instruments for navigation. In this context, the tactile experience transcends mere physical containment, offering a multifaceted exploration that encompasses the perception of surface undulations, material texture, and temperature.
