Sissel Marie Tonn and Jonathan Reus have collaborated for many years as the duo Sensory Cartographies.
Sissel Marie Tonn is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands whose practice traces the entanglements between organisms and their environments. Blending ancient and contemporary technologies, she crafts stories about what it means to be (more-than) human today. Her collaborations with practitioners in dance, music, and image-making tap into fundamental more-than-human impulses to connect, narrate, and transmit knowledge across generations. Working with game engines, artificial life systems, tactile interfaces, and speculative storytelling, Tonn searches for what is poetic, strange, and quietly transformative.
Jonathan Chaim Reus is a musician, media artist, and researcher exploring the thresholds between bodies, voices, vibration, and transformation. Trained in electronic music, mathematics, and cognitive science, he develops self-made hard and soft technologies for performance, theater, and installation, treating code and hardware as expressive materials. His work merges arts, the sciences and philosophy, its sounds examining how technological systems contour perception and possibility. His recent projects explore the entanglement of ancient and modern techniques of voice and instrument building, from »In Search of Good Ancestors« (CTM, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, ORF Ö1), a generative AI radio work on intergenerational listening, to »Tungnaá,« a Dada-inspired live AI voice instrument. He is also co-founder of instrument inventors initiative (iii) in The Hague.
