Guide

Carte Blanche

Connection gives you ten questions. Wedding follows the wedding day. With Carte Blanche, you invent the course of the capture yourself.

The course of the capture is yours

Connection and Wedding come with their own course: a text you read to each other, a silence you hold, a ceremony at a set time. Carte Blanche is for those who already know which moment they want to live.

You choose the place, the time, what you say to each other, and the moment you press Start. The studio receives only the beats of your hearts.

Carte Blanche is the only guide whose course belongs entirely to you. You order directly, and your idea stays yours.

The four constraints of the capture

These four constraints come from how the artwork is composed. Meet all four constraints, and your capture becomes an artwork.

  • Alone, or with others: one ring per person, and you choose the number of people; the price follows that number.
  • Every ring worn from start to finish of the capture, all at the same time.
  • Ten minutes minimum, for enough heartbeats; one hour maximum, so the lines of the artwork stay distinct.
  • One continuous capture, from Start to Finish. Two separate moments make two captures.

What every guide shares

What shapes the artwork

The artwork is drawn from changes in your heart rate: a heart that climbs then settles, two hearts that follow each other or drift apart. Half an hour of even calm gives an almost uniform artwork.

The moments that shape the artwork most are the ones where something changes: you fall quiet after speaking, you touch after keeping your distance, you walk after sitting still.

The smart rings record only the beats of your hearts. What you live through during the capture stays between you, even once the artwork hangs on a wall.

Start again as often as you like

You can record as many captures as you like before choosing the capture that becomes the artwork. The rings and the ARSENTIS app stay yours. The studio composes the artwork on the day you name the chosen capture.

A moment you invent sometimes misses on the first try: you start again the next day, with the same rings and the ARSENTIS app.

Frequently asked

Do I need my idea approved before ordering?
You order directly. A capture that meets the four constraints — alone or with others, every ring worn from start to finish, between ten minutes and one hour, one continuous capture — becomes an artwork.
How does Carte Blanche differ from a custom artwork?
Carte Blanche frees the course of the capture; you choose your artwork from the artworks on the site. A form worked for one person starts with a note to the studio.
Is the price the same as Connection?
For two in a single artwork, the price is the same as Connection. Alone, or one artwork per person, the price follows the number of people, each with their own artwork and ring. The amounts are at the end of the page.
