I presented last week a conference at the Cirque du Soleil [ 45 dedrees ] event. My talk was about some of my work related to the wind dynamic. The windfields series. At the end I made a little performance/demontration of a new project in beta version.
Voici quelque photos de INKUBATOR.01. POUR CETTE SOIRÉE ÉLECTROCHOC AU CONSERVATOIRE DE MUSIQUE DE MONTRÉAL, J’AI PRÉSENTÉ 8 LABORATOIRES D’EXPLORATION INÉDITS. UNE INVITATION SPÉCIALE DU CONCERVATIORE DE MUSIQUE POUR PARTAGER DES RECHERCHES SONORES ET VISUELLES PLUS BRUTES, VOIRE INACHEVÉES ; DES PISTES DE CRÉATION QU’IL M’ARRIVE RAREMENT DE PRÉSENTER EN PUBLIC, ET QUI DEMEURENT TROP SOUVENT ENFOUIES DANS MES TIROIRS-MÉMOIRE. J’ai eu aussi le privilège de donné une mini conférence avant mes performances. Expliquant avec schéma la technique de chacun des laboratoires. photos de Louis Dufort et Diva Valou.
Finally Eotone return back to Quebec, at the National Musée des Beaux Arts during the Mois Multi festival. Such an adventure for these 4 wind beasts. Antoine and Mathieu had to recover all the logic box with a heat home-made lunch box to fight the minus 30 degrees celcius. It was so beautiful to see the structures move under the snow.
Eotone move to Rennes just after Nantes. It was installed again outdoor near a subway. In the Hoche Square.Several people passed through Eotone. The people of Rennes were really curious. We had many questions and passers remained long in the center of the installation, listening and contemplating the movement of structures by the wind. pictures will come soon.
After the the BIAM _ The Montreal Biennale Internationale d’art numérique , It was the festival Scopitone at Nantes who invited and installed Eotone in a former shipyard overhaul.
After 2 years working with David letellier, we finally present our project Eotone at Elektra-Mutek EM15_ Biennale internationale art numérique Musée Art Contemporain de Montréal.
WITH EOTONE, KOLGEN AND LETELLIER REFLECT ON DISTANCE AND WEATHER, BY STAGING SOMETHING INTANGIBLE YET POWERFUL: THE WIND. FOUR SOUND AND SCULPTURAL DIFFUSERS, CONTAINING ELEMENTS OF BOTH THE WEATHER VANE AND THE FOG HORN, MAKE UP THIS MONUMENTAL INSTALLATION THAT RENDERS IN MOVEMENT AND SOUND THE DIRECTION AND FORCE OF THE WIND BLOWING SIMULTANEOUSLY ON TWO CONTINENTS: IN MONTREAL AND QUEBEC CITY ON ONE SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC, IN RENNES AND NANTES ON THE OTHER. THE WIND DATA RECORDED IN EACH CITY IS TRANSMITTED LIVE TO THE DIFFUSERS, CONTROLLING THE ORIENTATION OF EACH OF THE STRUCTURES AND ORCHESTRATING THE COMBINED CHORDS THAT MAKE UP THE HARMONIC WHOLE PERCEIVED AT THE HEART OF THE INSTALLATION. BY TRANSFORMING WEATHER DATA INTO SOUND, EOTONE OFFERS A SUBTLE ARTISTIC VISION OF THE INTERNET OF OBJECTS.
For the last 2 years, I worked with David Letellier on a large scale project. Eotone. We reflect on distance and weather, by staging something intangible yet powerful: the wind. Four sound and sculptural diffusers, containing elements of both the weather vane and the fog horn, make up this monumental installation that renders in movement and sound the direction and force of the wind blowing simultaneously on two continents. The wind data recorded in each city is transmitted live to the diffusers, controlling the orientation of each of the structures and orchestrating the combined chords that make up the harmonic whole perceived at the heart of the installation. By transforming weather data into sound, EOTONE offers a subtle artistic vision of the Internet of objects.
In the time that we work on all web/audio/geocontrol applications, IUT from Nantes build these diffusers.
From my WINDFIELD installation series, I presented at the BIAN _ International Digital Arts Biennial, a new piece : MindWind. An interactive outdoor / architectural projection on the Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec. This plants microcosm growed and reacted in real time, depend on the traffic and urban noise surrounding the Bibliothèque.

For the next 6 months, I know I will have no long time periods to work on a new projects. I decided instead to use some day off to prepare and shoot little segments. Last week I was shooting one of them. I want to thank’x Eva, Steven, Pierre, Sophie, Sylvain and Jean-Marc helping me in this one day adventure.
