The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

TeZ (aka Maurizio Martinucci) is an Italian interdisciplinary artist ad independent researcher living and working in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He has been running the ‘Optofonica’ platform and lab for Synesthetic ArtScience in Amsterdam since 2006.

TeZ’s works explore the boundaries between human perception and all physical phenomena associated with vibrations. He crafts custom instruments for sound and light propagation, as well as for specific architectural structures where subtle oscillations can reach the body and stimulate meditative and immersive experiences. TeZ’s holistic paradigm aims at encompassing many of the disciplines related to art and science, together with ecology and mindfulness. He has regularly shown his works and given lectures at both academic and artistic contexts, including as a guest lecturer at the ArtScience Interfaculty in Den Haag and other art and technology institutes. His installations and performances have also been featured at major venues and festivals worldwide.

Currently, TeZ is a resident-artist at Tembusu College as part of the 2015 Art/Science Residency programme, inpartnership with ArtScience Museum and IDMI, NUS. For more information on TeZ and his works, see: http://www.tez.it/info.html
