Eindhoven, 26-27 may 2009

Lorenzo Brusci / Architettura Sonora will bring sound, acoustics and experience design contributions to the creative multi-discipline workshop that the GOAL team -Global Organization Application Lighting- of Philips is organizing on future multisensory retailing.

On Friday, May 29, 2009 BALTAN Laboratories hosts the third in its series of BATLAN GOES NATLAB presentations at the former Philips NatLab in Eindhoven. Curated and moderated by Telcosystems, the focus of this session will be on different strategies of spatialisation in audiovisual art and how this alters our understanding of technology-driven forms of art. Norwegian artist HC Gilje explores how audiovisual technology can be used to transform, create, expand, amplify and interpret physical spaces. He will present the research he has been doing over the last three years during his research fellowship at the National Academy of the Arts in Bergen (KHIB). HC Gilje writes regularly on these matters on his blog Conversations with Spaces. The Italian sound designer Lorenzo Brusci will give a presentation on his work in the field of immersive sound and experience design. He is (co-)founder of the applied acoustics division of B&C Speakers, Architettura Sonora, the environmental design team Giardino Sonoro, and the studio Sound and Experience Design. Telcosystems will present their latest work 12_Series, which they developed at BALTAN Laboratories as part of the Poeme Numerique investigations.

« Le complexe imaginaire» (Avant-première)

choreography: MICHAËL D’AUZON
dancers: LARA MARTELLI, DAVIDE SPORTELLI
sound space: LORENZO BRUSCI
real time sound design: FABIO FONDA

Michaël d’Auzon and his team are questioning the notion of invisible architecture within a dance piece composed as a musical score. The “imaginary complex” is a trip into the core of the brain where can be observed the bodily grammar at work, where the articulation of motions tends to materialize the representation of a mental process itself. “Is dance something to be seen?…” Between the picture of the dancer stimulating our eye, and the sound produced by his/her gesture, a psycho-acoustic relationship plays with our perception of the movement. Then, dance seems to be merely what we believe to see.
