Gauthier Keyaerts : Fragments 43/44
Bruxelles > Point Culture
Fragments # 43-44 is based on both technology (IT mediation, various digital interfaces, …) and on instinct, on improvisation. When the user activates this interactive AV device, it can trigger and transform collections of sounds, as well as take the controls of different visual worlds, all moving in space, or using precise movements. This device (in collaboration with François Zajéga, ) is also used by Gauthier Keyaerts as a performance dialoguing between sounds, machines and images.
Note that from 7 to 12 December 2013, the Culture Point shows in the same space in Brussels, ‘HUM’, an interface design created by François Zajéga (music by Jean-Julien Filatriau). With his movements, the visitor feeds and educates HUM, which in return, generates sound and musical forms.
Fragments 33/43 is supported by la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (arts numériques), Institut numediart/UMons, Transcultures

Aymeric Hainaux aka Émotional
+ Ordinaire
Charleroi > Le Vecteur > 20:30
Aymeric Hainaux (French nomadic artist, designer, beatboxer and performer aka Dent-de-Lion)uses its human beatbox with two microphones, an echo pedal and a cassette player. His rule # 1 is “No loop, live action only”. Everything is designed in-house, under the eyes of the public. Emotional is the new alias and new Aymeric Hainaux’s new project. A raw, physical, poetic, low-tech and powerful performance!
Under the pseudonym Ordinary, Eric Therer creates in collaboration with Stephan Ink (bass-laptop), creates experimental poetic sound art works. The approach chosen by this particular Liege duet is to collect images and sounds in our everyday immediate environment that have the characteristics of the valuable-unavoidable icons. The dance clubs along national roads, chip shops, the administrative burden … many references that belong to the cultural heritage of Belgium poetized here with cold humor, acid energy and low-tech aesthetic.

Donald Abad and Klaus Fruchtnis will create an interactive and audiovisual installation related to the local communities, meanwhile Pepso Stavinsky and Laurent Duprat (aka L.O.S) will offer a musical creation mixing hip-hop and electro, also inspired by this industrial and suburban context. Flutist Paolo Vignaroli and harpist Eloïse Labaume will share a duo and crossbreed their artistic expressions in a moment of radical improvisation. Stephane Kozik, Julia Hadi and Virag Arany will present ‘Bodyscape’ (photo), an interactive dance-sound-multimedia performance initiated during the Belgian edition of Park in progress in Mons (Festival City Sonic).
