Interactive and immersive device

Designed for real-time musical and visual interactions, the immersive space is a semi-transparent half-sphere, 2.50 meters-high (8.2 feet-high). This structure is used as a screen for wide-angle projection similar to that of planetariums.
Then the audience can be totally immersed in unreal and captivating atmospheres.

Speakers and amplifiers make possible games of spatialisation of sound. Inside the dome, the audience, seating or lying, can manipulate sensitive device and sensor sensors or simply daydream.
These manipulations are interpreted by the Aléas software which produces the sound and the 3D compositions. By mixing these image and sound structures, like an orchestra, spectators create symphonies to contemplate.

Aleas : original virtual music software/instrument

Aléas arose from a reflection about how to materialise/draw sound with 3D images. It is a synthesis software, treating sounds and abstract images, able to create a dialogue with reality by using tactile sensors. It creates therefore an interactive, sensitive relationship with the audience.

It allows to create, modify, observe and manipulate moving 3D shapes. By manipulating the sensors, the spectator can continuously intervene on the whole structure by playing with the different variables: order, side-by-side positioning, overlapping, speed, rhythm, harmonic pitch…

By positioning new materials, users create sustained melodies made of rhythmic relationships animated by subtle temporal intervals. Each user appropriates the system by creating particular processes of repetitive polyphony where parts overlap then disappear into hypnotic swirls. The audience determines the future of the work by experimenting with infinite orchestrations. They control easily the melodie thus generated: a direct relation between man, image and music.
