72/Impulse is undertaken as part of a collaborative effort between artists, developers and technicians.
A work immersive sound and light
The project of 72/Impulse is to create an interactive light and sound installation made of six large metallic frames. Each frame contains 12 LEDs modules of 40 cm in length for the light, and four percussive elements for the sound. When the installation runs, the lights and sounds produce a unique visual and sonic choreography, made of paths and movements. The system is autonomous, but the visitor can interact with it. Using a touch pad, he can create its own sound and light logic, and play with the multiple depth levels of the installation. The listener / viewer, immersed in the middle of this vibrating structure, can stay contemplative; he can move inside the structure or interact with the installation that in this case becomes an instrument to perform with.
An integrated technology
The technology of 72/Impulse is an integral part of the work. It is designed in a spirit of hybridization between the digital and physical worlds. Sounds are not synthesized neither reproduced through loudspeakers, but physically produced by the structure using digitally controlled electromagnetic percussions attached to the frames. Thus, 72/Impulse will explore the use of sounds extremely sleek, unadorned, designed as simple markers delimiting the space-time work.
