Integration of digital video and interactive devices in a scenographic context

A weekend workshop with multidisciplinary artist Line Nault and digital designer Alex Burton of Studio Artificiel

TOPO offers this theoretical and practical workshop aimed at the transfer of experience and experimentation with various tools for interaction and spatialization of space in a performative context or for the performing arts. The two highly experienced artists, one a choreographer and multidisciplinary artist (somatic, media and digital) and the other a specialist in digital lutherie, are initiating a new process and proposing to experiment with the tools they have created and an open source code library to help advance the project.

Registration mandatory (group limited to 10 people)
