Computer, behavioral algorithm, interactive with sound.
© Antoine Schmitt 1998
Installation, designed to be videoprojected on a wall, or shown on a screen, in the context of an exhibition or of a concert. The duration is infinite, there is not end.
Venus #1 is a creature which dances on music, either coming from the internal CD-Rom player of the computer, either from an outside source in the case of a concert for example. When there is no sound, Venus #1 lazily wanders inside her space.
Venus #1, through her very peculiar sound perception, gives us another lecture of the music and the sounds.
Venus #1 is visible online in the gallery.
