Milieux associés
Permutational performative installation
& night projection
(2014)

Milieux associés is a permutational and performative installation linking art, technology and residual matter. The installation and performances engage the public through a variety of physical environments distributed in zones. Consisting of video, a swirling membrane, proximity and movement sensors, digital drawing, tactile and immersive sound, it also spills out onto the street at night as an evening projection on the windows of the Phi Centre seen from Saint Paul Street. The work explores the relationship of humans to hidden and neglected materialities that still hold capacity for transformation.
