« ON » is an electronic dynamic luminous sculpture -picture created  
by Jean Octobon.

The independent giant equalizer screen gives a graphic  
retranscription of the sounds emitted in the surroundings in which it  
is set up.

On the dividing line between a work of art and a design object, “ON”  
is a picture where the observer takes on the role of actor or author;  
a cult design object whose purely-shaped, ultra deep and reflective  
dark glass plate is prompted into activity by the slightest noise or  
the most upbeat of musical settings.

Inspired from the hifi systems of the 80s, the sculpture falls not  
only within the artistic movement of “gigantism” but also the  
emerging trend of “electronic art”.
