audiovisual performance
Ballistics
Myriam Bleau (CA)
Avant-première
Ballistics is an audiovisual performance for five pendulum interfaces drawing inspiration from popular science fiction and mysticism. The wireless luminous objects are equipped with motion sensors allowing for handheld manipulation, oscillations, spins and high momentum trajectories.
An exercise in sonifying movements and pendulum physics, this performance uses digital modular synthesis to reveal a corroded and textural landscape of uneven rhythms.
