]interstice[, 11th edition of the meeting of the unclassifiable, dedicated to sound, visual and digital art, is a journey to the heart of those artistic practices that strike the imagination and is an un precedented exploration of a city through the creations of international artists.
]interstice[ invents an annual program, revealing immense works that are spectacular, ‘rigged’ and poetic. You will encounter along the way sonic umbrellas, organ reminiscent tubes, scintillating sculptures offered up to the winds, resonating architecture, an infernal machine, or others quite alive and worrisome, an installation at the frontier of the arts and sciences. It is a vibrating museum, a historical walk about along the Berlin Wall, a history of industrial music, an orchestra of rigged up objects, concerts, performances, dh’s, diners, unguided tours, workshops and meet and greets…
]interstice[ is also a space for both production and professional connections. We hold our attention particularly on these rare times where the artists may also exchange and decide to work together. This year, some of those will grant us the pleasure of a reappearance. Herman Kolgen, present in 2015 will be in residence in 2016 and 2017. The Swiss from Cod Act also will be coming back as will the Belgians of Overtoon and what’s more the collective Art of Failure will join us once again. ]interstice[ is the result of these relationships that are so important and necessary.
This fidelity, it is also that of an ever growing volunteering team. Each year, one must reaffirm that the festival would not exist if so many persons did not involve themselves in the project.
We thank all of our public, associative and private partners that attest to their trust in engaging at our sides. You who offer us all the possibility of a project that is widely appreciated and that we believe ambitious and open.

impasse duc rollon from tuesday to saturday from 2 to 6.30pm sauf jeudi 5 mai |
ONE DROP
Six umbrellas cascade. One by one the water drops slide down them and each bounce, and fall is captured and amplified by micro-contacts, emitting a thunderous sound that contrasts with that light presence. The drops of water finish by tumbling onto an electric hotplate that immediately dematerialises them.
We are at the crux of the idea of the collective : in english “void” signifies empty (in french “vide”). A “vide” or a void that leaves the spectator the choice to complete the movement through thought, thus taking part in the cycle of materials changing states.
Created in Brussels in 2013, VOID is a collective of sound artists. It reunites Arnaud Eeckhout and Mauro Vittorini. The work of the collective VOID interrogates the relationship that we maintain with reality through our perception of it as well as the awareness of what may be. In an effort to decompose these rapports that link man and his artifices, VOID aims to create short circuits between personal experience and culturally constructed representations. Their visual and sound interventions combine interconnected territories of perception, of sound, of language and of representation.

PARSEC
Parsec is a kinetic audio visual machine consisting of 16 identical arms performing a generative composition based on swarm synthesis. Each arm holds two LEDs and a loudspeaker which will create abstract audio visual patterns while being rotated. The core of the installation consists of a swarm synthesizer, 16 identical analogue and modular synthesizers. The synths are programmed to perform swarm like behavior which can also be recognized in the movement and light patterns.

DRIFTING PATTERNS
Drifting Patterns is the physical outcome of a research on alternative energy sources and how these can be used in a kinetic sound installation. Following the lead of Heron’s water and wind machines, “Drifting Patterns” is a wind organ in which kinetic energy is converted into pneumatic pressure. This pressure is used to play a number of organ pipes divided over five objects which are placed in the landscape. The result is an ongoing and constantly varying sound composition in which complexity emerges between the shifting patterns of the sound sculptures.

château de caen from wednesday to monday from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 2 to 6pm |
CELL
Cell represents a focal point for low-frequency acoustic waves which arise on the site of the exhibition. These vibrations are picked up by wireless sensors in black boxes distributed over the building. A steel cylinder volume receives those vibrations and amplifies the low frequencies across its inner surfaces. It offers a private listening space and acts as a focus point of contact events between bodies and architecture.
As soon as vibrations resonate with the steel they are registered and stored. The events are constantly repeated and gradually raised in tone. When the low frequencies have lost all of their resonant materiality they leave the steel sculpture’s memory as high-frequency remainders and evaporate into thin air.

RESONANT ARCHITECTURE
Since 2006, the collective Art of Failure has been creating a series of experiences that create a heightened perception of architecture by setting unusual buildings vibrating. The materials and structures activated by infra-bass vibrations reveal resonance frequencies and the physicality and acoustic qualities of the buildings chosen. A multimedia mechanism that involves sound, visuals and architecture, RESONANT ARCHITECTURE establishes a dialogue between architecture, the spatial components and geographical context.

CIRCUIT 03
The installation can be considered as an instrument built by the artist that autonomously performs a composition. Circuit 03 plays with the feedback principle to produce sound. Feedback is created when microphones and loudspeakers are aimed at each other. The shapes of the tubes, the resonance patterns and the placement of the loudspeaker are only a few of the parameters determining the pitch of the sounds produced. Using these parameters, the artist Vandesande produced a composition. However, the sound composition is not a freestanding given, but also is created by the special resonance of the space and changes when the visitor changes positions and moves around.

ISOTOPP
After a collaboration with GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds or Grand National accelerator of heavy Ions) in Caen, Isotropy is the first step of a creative residence continuing on until 2017. Inspired by the successive states of energy of matter, this installation is presented as a preliminary spatialisation.
Three screens placed on the ground are linked to luminous cables by an optic system. The system reacts by analysing the activity at the epicentre of the luminous plaques and transfer the energy towards an ensemble of luminous ramified filaments.
Herman Kolgen lives and works in Montréal and across the world through the vast reach of his productions and exhibitions. A multidisciplined artist, he works on the physical relationship between sound and the image and the resounding impacts between man and territory. He literally x-rays the interactions and tensions that play out. He brings to light that which cannot be seen.

Put in place in 2015, the unguided tours are another way to navigate the parcours and to meet the selected works. Less of a commentated visit and more of a discovery of the festival, its conception and the conditions of its realisation, the different contexts that situate it as well as future projects. The objective is to present to the public the back stage, while considering that public mediation of the work is also to put into perspective artistic creation with regards to a particular situation. Responding to that calling to ]interstice[ within local culture, it is to propose a lecture of the cultural terrain that composes a city and to uphold the place that therein for creation and culture.

NYLOÏD
performance 40’
Nyloïd is an impressive sound sculpture, a huge tripod consisting of 3 nylon limbs of 6 meters in length animated by a sophisticated mechanical and sound devices. Sensual, animal and threatening, this mobile draws its dramatic power from the reactivity of its plastic and sound material to diverse mechanical constraints. Similar to a living object, its tension, effort and suffering, which result from its contortions and its vocal manifestation, can be sensed.
This work constitutes a new stage in our researches. We did new investigations, each within his domain, on plastic and sound organicity to combine them into this fascinating object: a return to life operated by means of mechanics and sound processing. The approach is a long-term reflection culminating in an advanced and complex minimalism. Nyloïd is a rudimentary structure. Often extreme, its movements are at the junction between mechanical perfection and raw material. Its impressive sounds, which seem to emanate from the material itself, are the result of an extremely sophisticated vocal research.
The combination of raw material, mechanical and sound perfection results in a kind of hypnotic and dramaturgic choreography, from which arise, on a paradoxical way, perfectly random kinetics.

GøL4M
performance /danse/arts numériques 50’
GøL4M could be some anthropomorphic form that has been vectorizedt by computer and then comes to life, borrowing its prototype from science-fiction, projecting into the present a synthetic state of being for the danser… GøL4M might then perhaps prefigure a hybridisation of man, in a technological laboratory by some strange ritual… GøL4M would refer to the alchemical project of all that englobes a being and its environment, the search for the formula and its balance : digital, geometric and biometric. The central medium of this enterprise is electricity. The electricity is the bridge between flesh and the silicon, the spark of life and the magnetism. A field of invisible forces that we cling to, may it render palpable or perceptible through the danser’s body. GøL4M is thus a choreography born in the lab of the amplification and the translation of a captured movement, and inversely the realisation of a movement in the exterior realm of sensitive forces. GøL4M is a mutant form that tends to gather the digital with the plastic/physical/organic flesh. Here, all elements are progressively resolved into a tragic and indissociable form.

INDUSTRIAL SOUNDTRACK FOR THE URBAN DECAY
documentaire 52’
Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay is the first film to trace the origins of industrial music, taking you on a journey through the crumbling industrial cities of Europe to America’s thriving avant-garde scene. Industrial music emerged in the mid 70’s, providing a vibrant, provocative and artistic soundtrack to the picket lines, economic decline and cultural oppression of the era. Whether factory workers, students or unemployed, industrial music pioneers were all educated, artistically minded and politically aware artists who started with little to no musical background and went on to change musical history. Industrial musicians found inspiration in Krautrock bands Kraftwerk, Faust and Can, 20th century art movements Dada, Futurism and Surrealism and post-modern writers William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and J.G. Ballard. Combining the do-it-yourself attitude of punk with mail art and underground fanzines, these pioneers were also among the first bands to incorporate tape loops, homemade synthesisers, factory field recordings and cut-up techniques in their music.
Discover the personal story of industrial music founders Throbbing Gristle, Sheffield’s prolific Dada inspired band Cabaret Voltaire, award-winning soundtrack composer Graeme Revell of SPK, noise music inventor Boyd Rice of NON and fifteen other of the genre’s most influential figures, exposing their incredible stories for the first time on film.

A performance-installation presented on three tables strewn with amplified instruments and small scale handmade machines. There are aspects that are left to chance : the machines generate hesitant forms through the instruments which are immediately organised and mixed ; the sonic masses evolve without fail by the effectuated manoeuvres, the public circulates, turning around the table from where the sound flow live.

Mark Lewis is a Canadian artist who lives and works in London. His film and digital moving image works are frequently depictions of everyday life produced through the use of cinematographic techniques and they make subtle and often accidental allusion to the wider tradition of film, photography and painting. His most recent works include a series of films shot in the Korean DMZ and the film project Invention that imagines a contemporary city with no cinema or moving image devices. In this scenario, the city itself is the cinema, focussing on the intense concentration of moving bodies, shadows and reflections. The project spans exhibitions Mark Lewis had at the Musée du Louvre in October 2014 and at the 31st Bienal de São Paulo and culminated in a feature film titled Invention which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in September 2015, then screened at BFI London Film Festival in October 2015 and at Berlinale Film Festival in Berlin in February 2016.
Lewis is also a co-founder and co-director of Afterall, a publication and research organisation based in Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. In 2009 he represented Canada at the 53rd Venice Biennale and he has exhibited at the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), National Gallery of Canada, MoMA (New York), BFI Southbank (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris) amongst others.

RHIZOMES
sound performance 60’
Rhizomes is a monthly radiophonic project, running on Radio 666. The idea is based on the construction of a sonic landscape, composed and mixed live, in the company of contributors, drives and lecteurs, and invited guest voices whose desires and questions create the foundation for this collective composition. In Corpus part#2, one hears the sonic backdrop of places, one hears Gil Scott Heron, Serge Daney, Gilbert Simondon, Pierre Bastien, Can, Autechre, Sonic Youth, David Lynch, Judith Butler, Victor Hugo, Samuel Beckett, Robert Musil, David Cronenberg, Jacques Derrida… The next shows approach joy, sadness, desire, the engagement and the and the journey towards an action. Along these lines, institut nomade is invited to compose, after Mark Lewis a sonic universe that drives us from one physical and mental space to another. Institut nomade is a project initiated by Alexandre Le Petit whose activity is trans-disciplinary. It begins with the notion of performativity in artistic practices and cultural construction. The ensemble might translate through the figure of a long investigation of what might be a “modern culture”, and using the tools adopted through ought the history of the perforative arts.

DUST
Multi channel granular synthesis concert
Duration: 45 - 60 min
Dust is about the exploration of noisy, grainy textures and about very slow movements of seemingly static sonic material, shredded into myriads of microscopic particles. The sources are leftovers of digital processes or field recordings; splashing waves captured in Australia on a beach with lots of pebbles, steam from a coffee machine, crackles of the lead out groove of an old record, electrical discharges from a big transformer, bells, organ pipes, bowed piano strings. The sonic treatments create dense and layered streams of sound, remixed and distributed in space during the performance, slowly filling the room, sometimes barely audible, sometimes very loud, spanning the whole spectrum from the lowest possible rumble to ultrasound. Dust is based on self written granular synthesis algorithms and can be presented live in many ways, including a variable number of audio channels.

Normandie impressionniste Caen - portrait de ville |
ésam Caen/Cherbourg site de caen, auditorium cours caffarelli |
The project Géosonic Mix Normandie Impressioniste proposes a sonic portrait of the city. Some invisible architecture consisting of super-imposed listening zones attach themselves to the topology; Sounds are set off at the incite of someone’s passage if they be equipped with a smartphone and a headset, permitting he or she to compose his or her own urban sound composition. After a first version that was created in Caen for the festival ]interstice[ in 2015, the project is to constitute a sound memory of a collection of impressionistic sites based on recordings made at that site. Sound works (noises, interviews, fictions) are re-injected in public space and become traces to reactivate in the memory of our sensitive experience of the space.
A specific application is available for free download on the internet and smartphones are also made available to the public at the Tourist office of Caen, the central point of the sound coverage, as well as at the Pavillon on the Port. The totality of the the sound creations that cover Caen were realised based on several collaborations made during residencies and workshops. At the heart of this work, the sounds that are linked with the programming for Normandie Impressioniste also allow for sonic parcours for ]interstice[ or la Nuit Impressionnante in the city of Caen in September….
We extend our gratitude to Relais d’Sciences/Maison de la Recherche et de L’Imagination, also to the company Digital Airways and to the sam Caen/Cherbourg for having supported Julien Poidevin’s project.

DIE MAUER
The wall and what it symbolized stood out as a negative horizon throughout my entire life, which began in 1956 in Berlin, five years before the construction of the wall. Only one week after the wall came down, its disappearance was already foreseeable. I set out with a camera one last time to film continuously along the wall on November 17th 1989. The two-and-a-half hour route begins at the river Spree in Kreuzberg, follows the painted wall along deserted streets to Checkpoint Charlie, around Potsdamer Platz up to the Brandenburg Gate, ending after seven kilometers behind a desolate Reichstag with a view across the Spree, where the new government buildings now stand.

During a quarter of a century, I set out many times on the path along the trace, which the wall had left through Berlin’s city center. When Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped the Reichstag in polypropylene fabric, to the first Love Parade moving through the Brandenburg Gate, to the anniversary of German reunification.
The film epically profiles the Berlin Wall in its physical immenseness and emotional presence in the everyday life of a city – and also the impact of its disappearance on the city: a visual long-term observation of German reunification. After 25 years, the scar left in the cityscape by the wall has almost healed. Life grew at breathtaking speed on both sides, over the death strip which was no man’s land.

wednesday may 4 from 2 to 6pm welcome from 1.30pm open to everyone on Relais d’Sciences website. 50 people max. |
CONFÉRENCES / RENCONTRES / ATELIERS
At the occasion of the project PROTOTYPES from the Maison de la Recherche et de L�Imagination and with the Station Mir, the May 4th Workshops propose to discover and showcase potential those locations on the territory of the Presqu��le that reflect the mutations of the City of Caen. In particular, we will pay close attention to the activity of those cultural actors that are developing in the area today. Their strong presence calls us to reflect, to anticipate and to act. This day of May 4th is an inaugural moment with the ambition of laying down the starting blocks and begin a work that might only be developed and accomplished collaboratively. We wish to set in motion a cycle that might go on through other forms in further contexts, with partners that may wish to engage with us in this mission.
The first meeting will be organised in three parts from 2pm to 6pm, and we invite you to join us beginning at 1:30pm.
Part 1:
Colin Lema�tre, directeur of Culture and Cooperation at
Saint-�TIENNE, will come to open the meetings and will lean on
the P�les Territoriaux de Coop�ration �conomique (PTCE), which
are those grouped initiatives and enterprises and also
cooperative socio-economic networks that are associated with
socially responsible PME, local collectives and research and
educative centres that weave together a lasting communal
strategy of cooperation and sharing in service to local
developmental and economic projects.
Part 2:
Based on real life events, of finished works and also those in
progress, and from the testimonies of professionals of existing
and coming structures, we can draw a panorama of those riches
and resources that are available.
Part 3:
Armed with these tools and possibilities that were brought to
light, a group choice will be made on a theme that could be
developed together. This collective reflection aims to
anticipate further actions and to create a calendar.
The fruits of this day of collective effort will be the subject of an ulterior restitution, that might create a foundation for another meeting and workshop.

ATELIERS TEXTILE
Having earned her masters in Textile Design at the ENSAV La Cambre, Claire Williams does research and collaborates with other artists, mad scientists, hackers, experimentalists, and local associations. She gravitates around open source textiles, free software and hardware (the material elements of the digital), she reworks knitting machines, and conceives electronic textiles and a history of analog textile techniques.
She facilitates three workshops that allow her to apprehend
electronics and sound through textile techniques. She approaches
these domains from an artistic angle, these techniques that
allow for capturing, broadcasting and visualising sounds while
physically experimenting their limits.
“Antennes textiles” or textile antennae, is the first moment of
this trilogie. It consists in this case of creating with the
other participants, an electromagnetic parcours within the space
but also in the street by creating mobile antennae.
The second session “Broderie Sonore” or Sound Embroidery is a
creative workshop with embroidered speakers.
The third session “Tricotage de données” or Knitting Data is a
knitting workshop with the help of a hacked and domesticated
knitting machine.
workshop 1 : textile antenna
may 11, 12 et 13 mai drom 9am to 1pm
For this workshop we will create a parcours starting from the
Maison de la Recherche et de l’Imagination, passing by the
street. The antennae will be made from materials depending on
the elements of the architecture that will serve as the mounting
surface as well as the conductive properties of the materials
present (pipes, grills, fences, etc.). Other antennae will be
mobile/portable. Everyday objects will be reused and turnd into
antennae with the help of technical textiles (hats, shoes,
umbrellas, bicycle wheels, etc…) The visitors will be able to
connect directly with these antennae with a headset to be able
to listen to the electro-magnetic activity in the area.
Workshop 2 : sound embroidery
thursday may 12 from 2 to 6pm
Création d’enceinte made with embroidery, basketry and crochet.
The principal is that a speaker is a bobin of copper that
creates an electromagnetic field with a magnet. Are we translate
the construction of the speaker with textile techniques. We
could also imagined experiment with different sorts of patterns
and techniques.
Workshop 3 : sound embroidery
friday may 13 from 2 to 6pm
For the occasion of this workshop the electtromagnetic
activity is knitted. Thanks to different software, we will see
how beginning with and then passing by the pixel, we can
translate visually the sound in knit. To accomplish this we will
have the help of a hacked knitting machine in order to send a
motif from a computer.
