ryota kuwakubo
| the tenth sentiment | ÉSAM Caen/Cherbourg, Site de Caen Cours Cafarelli opening Tuesday April 24 from 17h30 to 21h visible from April 24 to Mai 4 from 13h to 19h except sunday and bank holidays |
Ryota Kuwakubo is an mutibmedia artist born in 1971 who lives and works in Tokyo. The Tenth Sentiment reposes on ' emelents: light, objects, space and time. She awakens in us a real phenomenal experience. A room plunged in darkness. A little electric train equipped with an LED lamp rolls slowly on a circuit installed on the ground. Diverse objects – usual objects for the most part – are disposed the long of the journey. Little by little the train advances, the beam of the lamp projects shadows on the walls, the ground and the ceiling. The closer it approaches, the more the shadows are amplified and a thickness which disassociates them with their respective objects. The objects are ordered in a way that their shadows unveil an illusory landscape: a forest, high tension pylons, ruins, a tunnel, a portal, jetees, a game court, etc. These views, in themselves rather ordinary, find a singular resonance in the individual experience and the souvenirs of each spectator. But instead of simply representing the given images, all of the objects enter in a subtle composition which permits each one of us to establish a sensitive link. This installation received the prize of excellence at the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2010.
Ryota kuwakubo will propose a workshop to the students of the intermedia department of the esam c2 in the context of an exchange project with the tama art university of tokyo.

herman kolgen
| stochastic process | Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mitterand Vernissage mardi 24 avril de 17h30 à 21h EXPOSITION VISIBLE DU 24 AU 28 avril 2012 de 13h à 19h |
Arecognized for his multimedia creations for over twenty years, herman kolgen is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in montreal. A true audiocinetic sculptor, he draws his primary material from the intimate relationship between sound and image. kolgen works to create objects that assume the form of installations, video and film works, performances and sound sculptures. Constantly exploring, he works at the junctures of different media, as well as elaborating a new technical language and singular aesthetic.
His multifaceted work is, above all, characterized by a radiographic approach to neurosensory imprints and stimuli. It's this x-ray effect, with its immaterial quality, which allows the invisible to be seen: the internal intensity of sensitive reactions. Inspired by this tension, as brutal as it is fragile, he constructs recurrent narrative fissions in which temporal friction constitutes the epicenter of his work. in contrast, the notion of the organic is at the core of his conceptual preoccupations. Combined and associated with the digital and the electronic across a work of extreme sensitivity, the latter is then diverted towards hybrid and indeterminate forms.
His installation practice equally integrates a vital work of spatialisation, notably regarding the aspect of sound. the creation and use of random systems of autogenerative image/sound also allows the creation of audiophonic spaces marked by their immersive quality. Notable also are herman kolgen's numerous collaborations with fellow audio artists and electronic/electroacoustic music composers (taylor deupree, agf, sawako, akira rabelais, etc).
From 1996 to 2008, herman kolgen has dedicated the majority of his time to the duo skoltz_kolgen. his creations have been presented at renowned festivals and events, such as: berlin transmediale, de _ isea 2004, (finland-estonia) _ venice biennale, it _ ars electronica, at _ sonic acts, nl _ centre georges pompidou, fr _ cimatics, be _ dissonanze, it _ mutek, mtl, mx _ elektra, mtl _ sonar, es _ tapei digital arts, cn _ shanghai earts, cn.
In addition to his participation in the venice biennale in 2006, herman kolgen is the recipient of numerous prestigious prizes, including qwartz, ars electronica, the festival nouveau cinema nouveaux médias de montréal, the best experimental film award from the independent film festival of new york and los angeles, and the prix du conseil général from the festival international vidéoforme de clermont-ferrand (france).
Stochastic Process In a dark and closed space, a sound source remains suspended dust projected light. This dynamic tension has a direct effect on the gravitational behavior of microscopic dust. The geography of these particles is influenced by these random modulations, producing breaks or abrupt, in contrast, promotes the formation of highly organized systems, called stochastic process.

| luminous scultpure 10.1 | Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mitterand opening Tuesday April 24 from 17h30 to 21h April 24-28 from 13h to 19h |
Mattieu Fromentin lives and works in NormandY. Issued from an education in science, optics play, little by little, a fundamental role in the elaboration of these works. In these latest installations, light, smoke and fog transform themselves into veritable sculptural materials. From the immaterial is born the form. It is from projected images, that volumes are drawn in the heart of a three dimensional visual and stochastic 'screen'. Light and smoke, purity and chaos reunite, triumph and separate. With these astonishing machines and ephemeral sculptures, is it the smoke that materializes the light, or the light that materializes the smoke?

Le Clair Obscur is attached to exploring the themes and problems linked to the questions on the relationship between man and machine and reflects particularly on the way in which man, his thoughts, his social organization, his modes of action and interaction are modified by his relationship to INFORMATIQUE and the internet.
@.2 / SleEp1nG Be@#/Ty is a performance-installation on the «corps augmenté » (the augmented body) of Frédéric Deslias & Gaêl L. The body of the performer is reduced to that of the test dummy on which we realize strange experiments. The inert body, fragile enclosed in a machine. An broen body: the capturing of this biological data, make visible the intimate activity all around us: its heart beats, the drops of sweat on the surface of his skin, the rhythms of his thoughts and his emotions are inscribed on the walls. The apparatus saturates the piece with sounds and images of the interior movements of the performer. We can dialogue with him, uniquely by the internet, and we take on the search in the curves an emotional response, a subtle sense of alarm, contact...

cécile beau
| C=1/√ρχ | Artothèque de Caen Hôtel d'Escoville FROM APRIL 24 TO May 4th FROM 14H TO 18H EXCEPT SUNDAY, MONDAY AND HOLIDAYS |
The works of Cécile Beau offer themselves not so much in the mode of show, which would be worked from the inside by a dramaturgy and the effects of decoration, than the mode of the experience, defined as a putting-to-the-test of a thing, of a material, of a structure or a phenomenon... If the contemplation is incredibly multiple in its forms and its manifestation, it needs almost always the slowness and the availability of the body. It operates an oscillation of the interior and the exterior. The confused rustling of ideas the souvenirs and the desires make contact with the presence and the sensorial disposition of objects and sensible phenomenon. Emile Soulier
C=1/√ρχ Sound Installation. A transparent architectural mock-up, a sort of miniature refinery, is composed of chemistry glassware. The random sonority is on streaming (sound broadcasted directly on the internet) diffusing sounds of urban flow relays itself inside via emission systems and sound capture so as to create a circulation. The passage across the different glass modules slowly filter the sound, curve it, remodel it, until it looses its first texture, thus evoking a sound distillery.

Born in France in 1978, got his diploma in architecture, he now lives and works in Berlin. Longtime collaborator with Carsten Nicolai, David Letellier is principally interested in the perception of sound and in the space and in the limits between architecture, music and art. His work, going from audiovisual performances until sound installations, the autonomous machines or the conceptual designs, can often be defined as "a tentative to fusion the sound arts and the culture club". He publishes his discs with the german label raster-noton under the pseudonym Kangding Ray. He presents at the Chappelle du vieux St-Sauveur an original creation: Caten. A surface in evolution which determines itself by gravity and the evolution of a quadriphonic SONIC composition.

| seeing with eyes closed | Galerie Hypertopie Place Letellier OPENING TUESDAY APRIL 24 FROM 17H30 TO 21H FROM APRIL 24 TO APRIL 28 FROM 13H TO 19H |
Seeing with eyes closed (2011) is a structure of polystyrene on which is fixed an ensemble of LED lights programmed to display different luminous patterns at frequencies between 12 and 50 Hertz, for a total duration of 3 minutes 18 seconds. The spectator is invited to sit down on the ground in front of a luminous panel with their eyes closed. The blinking of the Led lights then produces a visual experience quasi hallucinatory. Aerial view photos, urban views from the 1930's, human figures, horses, the accounts are numerous and at each time the metal images perceived are different.
This installation was realized in collaboration with the neuroscientist Ida Momennejad and the association of Neurosthetics and among other places was presented during in the Peggy Guggenheim collection in Venice.

art of failure
| Galerie Hypertopie Place Letellier OPENING TUESDAY APRIL 24 FROM 17H30 TO 21H FROM APRIL 24 TO APRIL 28 FROM 13H TO 19H |
The imperfections permit the identification of a medium in the way a glass becomes visible with the accumulation of scratches and dust. In the hart of the ART OF FAILURE collective, Nicola Maigret and Nicolas Montgermont experiment with the capacity of contemporary technologies to generate sonic languages or specific visuals. In their realizations, the internal characteristics of the medias are rendered perceptible with their errors, dysfunctions, limited states or rupture thresholds, which they develop the audiovisual experiences at times sensorial and immersive.
Nicola Maigret develops an experimental practice of sound and electronic images (live, installations, programming, radio) since 2001. After studies at the beaux art school of Besançon, where he followed a theoretical education on the avant-garde, he integrates the Locus-Sonus laboratory in Nice consecrated to research in audio art. He has taught "new media" during workshops as well as at the beaux arts school in Bordeaux. He is currently involved in the Plateforme project, an 'artist run space' based in Paris, and develops sonic and digital research in collaboration with Nicolas Montgermond under the name of the Art of Failure. Peripheriques.free.fr
Nicolas Montgermont studies the relationships between art and the sciences in using the computer as his studio. After an education in signal treatment, he studies science applied to music at the IRCAM. His DEMARCHE of creation is the research of the esthetic belonging to the digital arts, using and developing personal tools for exploring the possibilities specific to the computer. With the collective chdh, he develops a work of audiovisual SYNESTHESIQUE performance which is shown in numerous festivals in Europe and which is followed by the realization of a DVD, vivarium (arcadi / artkillart), in 2008. Since 2007, he works equally in the collective Art of Failure, principally in the domaine of sound installation. In parallel, he teaches computer creation in the large sense in workshops and at the Louis Lumière school.

Inspired by 1920 marcel duchamp + man ray's photograph " élevage de poussière ", dust explores changes in the state of matter. at the edge of the imperceptible, pigments are suspended around a magnetic field. random fibrous networks take shape and then form composite objects, hypnotic in their complexity. Sound particles paired with luminous aggregates exist on a scale that cancels out all points of reference. Thus, at the turning point between the invisible and the visible, dust becomes intoxicating and the video surface a veritable accumulation of x-rays.

Tomoko Sauvage, Japanese musician and sound artist based in Paris, has developed a natural synthesizer, an electro-acoustic system using hydrophones (under-water microphones of Aquarian Audio) immersed in porcelain bowls of different sizes filled with water. She plays with water waves and drops resonating in the bowls and her new sonic exploration is audio feedback creating waving drones and natural overtones. Since her solo album, "Ombrophilia" was released from either/OAR (US) in 2009, she made performances in Europe, US and Japan, often in solo but also in collaboration with Momus, MC Schmidt (Matmos), Gilles Aubry, André Gonçalves… In 2011, a new set of porcelain bowls was created during her residency at La Pommerie (FR) in collaboration with Ceramic Research Center of Limoges (CRAFT).

Pierre Gordeeff realizes performative installations with ordinary household objects overturned, reused, accumulated... these devices take the form of sculptures in movement which produces sound and light (and therefore shadows) and which causes an offset between the cause and the effect, like to envision the coming of a roman battle with a tooth brush and a spring... He has also developed an interface of control which permits play with sound the parameters of sound and visuals of these machines like with a musical instrument. He interrogates the relationship between sound, light and form and puts into place the processes destined to escape the only aesthetic criteria to have intervene other factors like physical or mechanical laws.

CHDH
| égrégore | Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mittérand Jeudi 26 avril à 20h30 |
The chdh collective is founded in 2000 around the creation of a show combining juggling, sensors and electronic music. This work is evolving toward the study of the relations between behavior, images and sound, exploring in particular the possibilities offered by the software Pure Data and its graphics library Gem. For over 8 years, they create digital "audiovisual instruments": algorithms generating sound and image designed to be played live. Their performances are played by two instrumentalists, acting in real time on the combined evolution of sound and projected video.
During those years, their work is slowly moving towards the generation of complex behaviors and the creation of expressive movement through the development and use of physical modeling tools. This research crystallizes in a release on DVD in 2008: vivarium (arcade / artkillart), which contains abstract videos works and software that allows to "replay" or modify them.
In 2011, they develops "égrégore", a new audiovisual performance project that explores group behaviors.
Cyrille Henry, artist and multi-field developer, he is interested in interactions between human gesture and data processing for artistic exploration. He's work was directed in turn towards the sensors or physical modelling for gestur analysis, human interface devices, as well as sound and visual synthesis in real time. He worked 4 years in La kitchen in Paris (in charge of the hardware department) for the development of sensors interfaces and their uses in an artistic context (live spectacle, dance, interactive installation, music). He is one of the founder members of the chdh project. Since 2005, he works as a free-lance developer/engineer around pure-data/Gem and sensors.
Nicolas Montgermont, studies the relations between art and sciences using the computer as a workshop. After a formation in signal processing, he studies sciences applied to music at the IRCAM center, being specially focused on real time control of synthesis. His creating work is the search of a numerical aesthetics, using and developing personal tools to explore the specific possibilities of a computer. With the chdh collective, he developps a work of audiovisual performance that is shown in many festivals in Europe and is continued by the release of a dvd, vivarium (arcadi / artkillart) in 2008. Since 2007, he also works with the Art of Failure collective mainly on sound installations. In parallel, he teaches the usage of the computer for creation in workshops and at the Louis Lumière school.
Damien Henry, engineer. former member of chdh, developer around pure data, he currently directs himself towards the development of a sequencer (otl) allowing "to write" the electronic music.
"Égrégore" means an energy produced by the desires of many individuals in a common goal. This is the starting point of this audiovisual performance that aims to exploit the group movement phenomenas. Complex and expressive behaviors are generated and controlled by a computer and transcribed in sound and image. A crowd of particles deploys itself, reorganizes, blends into living structures more or less coherent, evolving from a chaotic movement toward a cohesive group. This project is a continuation of chdh's work on audiovisual instruments, but aims to radicalize the search.

video program
| Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mittérand Vendredi 27 avril à 20h30 |
In Partnership with the Norwegian Embassy in France, we present the work of three artists whose performative practices are specific to Norway. As different as they may be from each other be in form, they all deal with a particular rapport with representation and with the stage, coming and going between exhibition and public production. Our ambition with this choice is to promote this Norwegian creation by inciting the discovery and in strongly suggesting the invitation to have it seen in France.
The work of Crispin Gurholt is constituted of "living photographs". These installations set the stage with models posed in a precise situation. The installation is then photographed (edited, exhibited) or filmed. Crispin Gurholt was born in 1965 in Oslo, where he earned his diploma at the National Norwegian Academy of the Beaux Arts in 1998. He received "le prix français" (the french prize) in 2009, distributed every two years by the ambassador of France to a Norwegian artist. These last two years he has presented personal exhibitions in Lillehammer, Oslo, Turin, Stavanger and Cologne.

greg pope & lasse marhaug
| Scoteographic Correspondances | Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mittérand FRIDAY APRIL 26 AT 20H30 |
from Greg Pope (text projections) with Lasse Marhaug (sonci projections) The origin of this piece is a collection of the poetry of Charles Baudelaire bought in Johannesburg by his father in 1947 (deceased). The scoteograpy designs the art of writing in the obscurity – technique used in this performance. Baudelaire's poem Correspondances is reconstructed by the written incisions made on a film. One might think of this project as an oral correspondence, textual and visual between the living and the dead. A session includes the use of two slideshow projectors with a sound production mechanical and human.
Greg Pope was born in the United Kingdom and lives in Oslo. Issued from the punk rock scene and from performance, he started in 1986 the Brighton Situation Cinema, a collective of production in Super-8 then in 1989 the London Loophole Cinema, collective of production 16mm and Super-8. Working just as well solo as in collaborative situations, he produces installations and performances based on light, image and sound. He is also curator and professor in Oslo.
Lasse Marhaug was born in 1974 in Norway and lives in Oslo. Issued from the noise scene, he subscribes to other styles such as jazz, punk, metal. Graphic artist and musician, he publishes an album in March 2012 for Mego editions with Masami Akita/Merzbow and realized the album cover of a double disc album of the best of the punk rock scene in the beginning of the 80's. Marhaug produces often on stage and in 2011 he played in his home in Oslo, and then in Brussels, Tokyo, Osaka, Séoul, Bergen, Bologne, Geneva, Copenhagen, Antwerp, London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Poznan and Bratislava.

keith rowe & Kjell Bjørgeengen
| Pavillon de Normandie Quai François Mittérand FRIDAY APRIL 26 AT 20H30 |
The duo proposes a performance at times technical and artistic which reaches to bind image and sound in an ebb and flow of reciprocal impacts. The image is generated by the sound, which, itself in response will react based on the image received. A fantom-like experience, vibrant which reveals forms hidden from view and from the ear. (source: Les Instants Chavirés)
Kjell Bjorgeengen was born in Norway in 1951 and lives in Oslo. His stage production on the image and the sound translates itself also by exhibitions. The image is fixed and basic, in black and white, very minimal. In movement, based on the binary scintillation, its effect is contrary and translates physically for the spectator.
Keith Rowe was born in the United Kingdom in 1940 and lives in Nantes. Guitarist, he is a precursor of experimental music, with a radical approach to his instrument and to performance since the beginning of the 60's. Profoundly influenced by the painters Rothko and Pollock and the music of John Cage, he became known with AMM, collective pioneer of electronic acoustic music. He applies to his guitar multiple forms and techniques and takes from all to make sound like a surgeon in full operation of his patient.

fred sapey-triomphe
| ÉSAM Caen/Cherbourg, Site de Caen Atrium, Cours Cafarelli RESULTS OF THE WORKSHOP VISIBLE TUESDAY APRIL 24 FROM 17H30 TO 21H AND FROM APRIL 24 TO 28 FROM 13H TO 19H |
Fred Sapey-Triomphe is a visual artist born in Paris in 1963. Educated at the Boulle school and the beaux-arts school of Paris, he was accepted into artistic residencies in Berlin, Kyoto? Santiago in Chili and Buenos Aires. His parcour is constituded of influences crossed in the sphere of art-making , which pushes his work to evolve towards different supports of visual representation: from painting to photography, the fixed image to movement across video-mechanic installations. His works were exhibited in several international BIENNIALES (Japan, South America) and finds itself in permanent collections at the museum of contemporary art in Rosario, Argentina, and at the museum Carnavalet, Paris, France. He is represented by the gallery Intuiti in Paris and the gallery Braga Menendez in Buenos Aires.
If the work of art founds the universe, according to Martin Heidegger, Fred Sapey-Triomphe proposes to create a fable, a mini universe full of fantasy and dream which possesses its own logic. It involves to conceive a collective work starting from dreamy operations. In a reoccurring manner will be presented the theme of the voyage, the possibility of a determined path, subjects of different avatars, in which reign alternatively the planned and the random.
The term SPIM, conceived by Fred Sapey-Triomphe, designs a structure of production of images in movement. A SPIM is an electro-mechanical system which produces a video on loop, in real time, in which the filmed elements, the camera and sometimes the system of projection are in movement. The offset, more or less important which exists between the two aspects of the same phenomenon the mechanical object in movement and its image mediatized on a projection support is one of the essential points of the notion of SPIM.
Starting from this concept, the workshop proposes to create collectively a 'low-tech' piece integrating a system of visual representation which functions in the manner of an autonomous dynamic microcosm.

Clément Valla will meet the students in the intermedia department of the ésam c2 to present their work from the Google Earth Art workshop.
In this workshop, each student developed freely his own system of cartographical representation taking inspiration or turning over existing models like: Google Earth and Google Maps. This system will be related and should shed light on the themes developed in their personal research. The student will determine the set of data they wish to explore, accumulate and treat along with the more appropriate medium of navigation (web, video, flash animation, interactive system, installation...)

rhama khazam
| ÉSAM Caen/Cherbourg, Site de Caen Cours Cafarelli Conférence mercredi 25 avril à 18h |
Rahma Khazam has a diploma in philosophy and in art history. Of british nationality, she is based in Paris where she writes revues on contemporary art and contributes to art catalogues and thematic collections. She was co-curator of a series of sound projects at the Palais de Tokyo and the chief editor for Earshot, a revue which treats the rapport between art, sound and architecture. Her conference speaks on the history of sound installations and the usage of sound as architectural material.
This conference is inscribed in the program of Les Conférences de la presqu'Ile on the theme of the diffusion of digital arts. This cycle initiated in october 2011 by the ésam c2, is pursued in 2012. Under the form of three thematic cycles corresponding to the different cursors of education of the establishment, these conferences mobilize the multiple practitioners and theorists come from all of the corners of the creative world.
The digital arts assemble the artistic practices issued from computer technology and the technologies of information and communication.
Interactive installations, hypermedia, digital edition, web art, works in network, image-objects, immersive environments, devices integrated in scenic creations, art software, synthetic images, virtual... interrogate our perception of reality and engender new relations to the material, to time and to space.
The place and the role of the spectator are thus put in question by the pieces which were in the 90's a veritable defeat of the aesthetics and the theory of the arts, because impossible to classify in the traditional aesthetic categories and according to habitual criteria.
What is a digital work? What profound changes have these digital technologies introduced in our mods of production and diffusion of work? In their conservation? In the relationships with the art market, what power and economic play do they determine?
These questions we have evoked are not only of aesthetic and artistic nature, across these pieces, it means to rethink the place of the human and the imaginary in our current society dominated by the media spectacle and the technological excess and to analyze how digital technology fastens our sensible and intelligible environment.
The digital arts are hybrid places where multiple practices cross – computer generated, art-making, design, architecture, music, literature, live show... - and the different "know-how's" , notably the relations between art and the sciences – genetic art, artificial intelligence, the art of code- produce passionate research just as much as a critical thought on the body, the power, and the limits of culture.
At the ésam Caen/Cherboug the students learn to use digital tools for their creations, and they acquire at the same time awareness of history and theory to master the technology with a critical distance. In this context, of conferences proposed by the communication department, across a choice of speakers, the programming brings several elements of reflexion on the subject of the status of digital work, and the modalities of their existence (production and diffusion), and the conditions of their reception, the play of the aesthetic, the political and the economical elements of the digital culture.
