WRITINGS


Artists have experimented with all types of video projection on volume, gradually transforming this technical tool into a full artistic discipline. Using 2D, 3D or even real photography, creators reshape the reality of a surface, incorporating mature and complex sound creations, to bring effective and sensory narratives to viewers. Videographers, visual artists, musicians, developers or theorists, all collaborate within an art that is constantly in motion.
By exploring various fields of application, video mapping is confronted with questions of interactivity, sound design, artistic choices and physical constraints. From these challenges emerge new forms and methods of writing that we will try to understand through short conferences.

Daniel Schmitt is a lecturer at the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France. His researches focus on the lived experience and instrumented mediations of tangible and intangible heritage. More broadly, Daniel Schmitt develops methods to identify the construction of meaning in ecological situations, that aim to answer the following questions: how do we construct meaning individually and collectively in our ordinary work or leisure situations? How do we make decisions, according to what dynamics? He has also participated in numerous museum and exhibition projects in France and abroad.

Mourad Bennacer – sound designer, Nature Graphique (France)

Mourad Bennacer is a multimedia artist based in Montreal. He is a musician, sound designer and visual designer. Active on the electronic music scene for several years as a producer and DJ, his musical signature has been early on anchored in an abstract and hypnotic form of hip-hop, impregnated with electronic influences and science-fiction. Nurtured by an approach focused on experimentation with images, his music is rapidly evolving beyond the limits of beat-music, generating a series of researches mixing sound design, visual creation and creative coding. He specialises in creation for immersive environments and interactive contents, and regularly collaborates with Nature Graphique.
