CONCEPT
& APPROCHE
Observation of the meeting
and possible interaction between
"Hi-tech" and "Low-tech".
​
Electro-Acrylic, these are electro-acoustic immersive performances combining organic and digital visual art with real-time sound capture and creation.
Complete artistic osmosis, synergistic works forged by the interaction of three mediums physically linked by sensors and receivers.
The"High-tech" here is obviously represented by the electro-acoustics and the "Low-tech", are the brushes and canvas.
We are moving inexorably in a "High-tech" world to a large extent, for many good reasons. Along with this, there is a movement, a consciousness, a reaction, a desire to return to a more "Low-tech" approach to our environment and our lives. Are the "High-tech" and "Low-tech" two ways to understand our way of life? Should we choose sides? Do we really have to compartmentalize our modes, classify and label what we are by using a particular form of work ?
This performance tries to show that not only these two worlds can co-exist, but they can melt into a movement that enriches each other by opening up the physical and creative relationship .
