  Here is a video demo to appreciate Exomène (www.exomene.com) performing live. And what a better playground for industrial music than playing in a factory!    Exomène's approach is very physical and far away from music studio. Exomène always engages and interacts with its audience especially through the use of colorful and interactive performances controllers. Then the crowd in itself is also a performance controller : the movement...

[Review] The mechanics of time

In hindsight, it’s hard to imagine the stigma attached to electronic music, and particularly to techno at its beginnings, by the apologists of socalled “erudite” music. Beyond the generation gap that amplified this trench war, it took the authority and open-mindedness of a few rare shooting stars to build bridges between repetitive, experimental music and the mechanical beats of Detroit. In France, of course, it was Daniel Caux who incarnated this approach. The analysis of t...

EXIT 2013, Artificial Natures

Each year, the EXIT Festival explores main contemporary topics, like paranoïa or low-tech.

[interview] Robert Henke and his installation "Fragile Territories"

This interview comes from the 12th Digitalarti Mag. Strange feeling when slipping between the black curtains that block the great hall of the Lieu Unique in Nantes: a mix of curiosity, excitement, but also anxiety… This is the first time we are faced with Fragile Territories, a tentacular installation by Robert Henke. We already knew some of his earlier, smaller devices (Transition machine, Traffic, Cyclone) that primarily relied on video and audio interactions. Here, the prime materia...

[documentary] "Hello World!" first episode about Processing is a must-watch

We were impatient to discover the Ultra-Lab's documentaries Hello-World.cc about main programming tools used by digital artists, like Processing or Open Frameworks. First episode "Processing" was released a few hours ago. It gathers numerous video artworks, experts interviews and examples. Its point of view is broader than a simple technical explanation or a basic history of a programming language. In the end, every one, regardless their programming skills, can watch these...

Interview: FRED FOREST, from video art to net-art

Pioneer—this is the term most often used to describe Fred Forest in the playing field of media arts. Two more words form another refrain: “network” and “territory”, like the X and Y axes of his artistic activity. This practice is rooted in the last century, as he began by “trafficking” images and paper, and then progressively annexed every mode of communication, from video tapes to virtual worlds. Born in the pre-television era (in 1933 in Mouaskar, A...

MYO, unleash your inner Jedi

MYO is a brand new wearable gestures sensor created by Thalmic Labs.  Basically, it is a strap you wrap around your arm between your wrist and your elbow. The strap is stuffed with sensors which detect the muscles activity and the arm motions. It is said to be precise enough to detect the gestures of a single finger. Then, each gesture data are sent through Bluetooth for any kind of control, since the data work as an API. For instance, you may  control devices like a camera, a compu...
