résonance visuelle

Sculptural and interactive video installation (2012)
Video projections, wood, metal and custom electronic componants.

Visual Resonance is an interactive video and sculptural installation and a  collaboration between Steffie Bélanger and Josée Brouillard. The piece presents a visual, interactive exploration of the sound. Using programming and audio sensors, a video projection is modulated according to the amplitude of the sound in a room. Small mechanisms placed inside a sculpture, that represents a gigantic speaker, produce sounds that makes the video react. The noise generated by the viewers can also provoke a response from the video. Graphic lines projected on wooden poles placed in the space evoke the VU metres on a mixing board. These lines respond to the slightest noise. Human silhouettes projected on the back wall are awaiting a violent sound to suddenly come to life.

This installation addresses the artificial interactivity between human and object. The characters from the video projection, just as the viewers, are waiting for a stunning blow to get excited. Yet, the interaction is constant. In a similar way, the sound is always present even when we are not consciously aware of it.
