HONORARY MENTION
A-Light
Yan Breuleux, Alain Thibault
The video A-Light is the first installment of a per-formance/video/music project that explores experimental light and electronic sound effects in an extreme impact context. The function of the video is to project an image that is at the same time a form of movement and a form of light. The music and what we call spatial sound allows us to create an actual physical impression on the body.The rhythm and the musical forms are the guidelines and parameters of time, from the micro to the macro structure. The sound and image not only occupy the diffused space but also the mind space of the viewer.This phenomenon in turn has a psychological impact on the viewer.
This piece takes into consideration the great need of humans to experience increasingly stronger sensations and their ability to adapt physiologically and psychologically to this imposed technology, especially the speed of moving bodies in space. The technological tools available are not perceived as machines but as extensions of the human sensibility towards altered perceptions. Light is life, creation, intelligence, energy and speed. Artificial light (A-Light) is perceived as a form of artificial life (A-Life) that effects perception.
