Exerpts of the live AV performance by Cristian Vogel and Sune Petersen at the third install of Champs Magnetique, techno and visuals in Le Balzac cinema in Paris.

Both music and visuals is generated live on stage.
This music is improvised in real time using a computational approach to rhythmic electronic music. I use my own sequencers and synthesis techniques in a music language called Kyma, which I have been programming with since 2006 - I call my performance software "The Never Engine" (also the name of my 2006 album on Tresor records where you can hear the first prototypes).

The visuals is likewise improvised in real time using a simple geometric shape and a video feedback loop to create a live visual instrument that has a very organic feel to it. I call the instrument "The Schmidder"
The motion of the geometry it affected by control data sent from Cristians Kyma system.

The creative concept for Aristocrazy show at MERCEDES BENZ MADRID FASHION WEEK 2014. We created an industrial atmosphere where the image and light is mixed with a steel structure. We hinted images through the structure to convey emotional pulse that counteracts the hardness and coldness of steel.We bring the models into a futurist world where the ARISTOCRAZY jewels provide the light and sophistication.

To Be Reproduced is an interactive video installation that revisits the classic painting Not to be Reproduced a work made in 1937 by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. The installation reflects on the pervasiveness of virtual spaces that have become an integral part of our daily social lives, and the way data traces are used to build sophisticated reproductions of the user.

In To Be Reproduced the viewer enters a hybrid space where the physical and the virtual world are closely intertwined. Positioned in front of the mirroring plane the viewer is enveloped in a virtual space where it meets a faceless digital reproduction of itself. As other participants are mirrored correctly the viewer takes on the role of the person depicted in Magritte’s painting.

This uncanny representation of the faceless user in a graphical point cloud refers to the voyeuristic nature of modern communication culture and to the data traces that are used to generate sophisticated consumer profiles. Instead of depicting people by mimicking nature, models are in-formed by analyzing metadata.

EPILOG is an interactive room installation applying light, sound and haze. By immersing into a 25-minute constantly transforming world of moving images and sounds, you are invited to swing into interaction by physically replying to the moving patterns – either on your own or together with others.

An interactive floor projection reacting to your movements in real time gets the visitor moving and, through the movement creating three-dimensional spaces made of light.

Tracking cameras, fog and a smooth double-projection are spawning searchlights, reactive light walls and rays bouncing off your body.

Each of the eleven scenes follows a unique principle: Whether you are chased by a simulated, abstract school of fish, or your movements brand into the fog and leave behind a swath out of light. Real time generated sound illustrates the movements and intensifies the immersive experience.
