Les Cosmos Imaginaires
Project type
Interactive audiovisual installation
Date
2014
Location
La Chambre Blanche, Quebec City
You enter the darkened installation room, approaching an illuminated plinth. Placing your hand or an object on it triggers a 3D scan, transforming it into a constellation displayed on a video projection. The projections guide you through a contemplative exploration of the "Imaginary Cosmos," created from the microscopic details of everyday objects.
Textual elements weave through the visuals, delving into the semantic space of stars and space through popular media. These poetic phrases, drawn from collective unconsciousness and reflecting our global sense of wonder toward the stars since the dawn of humanity, add depth to the experience.
The soundscape features droning sounds and melodies derived from the spatial arrangement of the constellation points. The rhythm and pitch reflect the distances and positions of the stars, creating an immersive auditory experience.
Spectators can continuously create new shapes, altering the celestial landscape. These shapes are recorded and played in a random loop when the installation enters sleep mode, ensuring a constantly evolving cosmic journey.
