Love Hultén

Part instrument, part sculpture, part wonderfully strange experiment.

Love Hultén is an audiovisual artist and woodworker based in Gothenburg, Sweden. His custom creations bring electronics, music and industrial design into the same handmade object.

A cactus garden becomes an input for a synthesizer. Stepper motors make music. A keyboard controls a choir of chattering plastic teeth. His work turns scientific curiosity into something you can hear, see and play.

What makes these pieces so compelling is the care given to their physical form: colorful controls, sculptural cabinets and unexpected materials make complex technology feel approachable—and a little mischievous.

In CINSEVENTEEN, a synthesizer, looper and tape echo share one sculptural enclosure. Desert Songs translates electrical changes in plants into musical signals. Each project offers a different invitation to experiment, making the act of playing as intriguing as the object itself.
