Round table 3: Video mapping and sound creation

Heir of the vjing in the world of electronic music, video mapping shares fraternal bonds with sound creation.
The artists who have assimilated, in particular through film-making, the co-construction sound/image, offer mature and complex creations.
Visual artists and musicians work hand in hand to bring effective and sensory storytelling to the audiences.
Far from being a mere sound packaging, the sound design is a central element of video mapping. From a spectacular to an immersive experience, including 360° writing, let’s focus on this two-headed creation.

With:
. Moderator: Laurent Catala (France), journalist specialised in digital arts and cultures
. Yohann Bernard (France), sound designer at Start-Rec
. Julian Hölscher (Germany), artistic director at Urbanscreen
. Thomas Vaquié (France), musician and composer, notably in AntiVJ
