With its immersive sound experience, M\u016b<\/em> invites visitors to journey through a variety of soundscapes and lightscapes. At the heart of the piece, a DIY instrument made of solar panels and stones converts the light from M\u00e9lanie O’Bomsawin’s videos into sound frequencies. Jenny Abouav activates it through her movements and the shadow of her body, weaving a generative composition. Electronic textures transport us to a world of organic sounds while disrupting its permeability. The performance explores the slow passage of time in the mineral world, bringing its vitality to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 travers une performance sonore immersive, M\u016b invite \u00e0 traverser diff\u00e9rents paysages sonores et lumineux. Un instrument DIY, fait de panneaux solaires et de pierres, convertit la lumi\u00e8re des vid\u00e9os de M\u00e9lanie O'Bomsawin en fr\u00e9quences sonores. Jenny Abouav l'active par ses gestes et l'ombre de son corps, tissant une composition g\u00e9n\u00e9rative. Les textures \u00e9lectroniques nous transportent dans un univers aux sonorit\u00e9s organiques tout en perturbant sa porosit\u00e9. Une performance qui explore le temps long du min\u00e9ral et en fait ressurgir le vivant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
