Nabaz'mob, opera for 100 smart rabbits by Antoine Schmitt and Jean-Jacques Birgé 100 Nabaztag smart rabbits play together an opera specially composed by Antoine Schmitt et Jean-Jacques Birgé. Evoking John Cage, Steve Reich, Conlon Nancarrow and György Ligeti, this musical and choreographic score in three movements, transmitted via wi-fi, plays on the tension between the orchestral ensemble and the individual voices to create a strong and involved showpiece.

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 he...

Visual artist, Antoine Schmitt creates artworks in the form of objects, installations and situations of minimal and radical aesthetics, to address the notion of self movement, as shape and as point of view. Heir of kinetic art and cybernetic art, nourished by the philosophical side of science-fiction, he reveals and literally manipulates the forces at stake, to question the modalities of the free being in complex systems of reality.

The sign and the thing become one. Each artwork is infinite and autonomous, a particular delicate situation : a still life, but living. With this new setup, my main intention ...
