This creation/research residency will allow the French digital artist also professor and researcher, Marc Veyrat to develop, in collaboration with Philippe Franck (also a member of the i Material Company), the new audio-visual performance project ‘VoXr e-Poetics’.
This will be presented for the first time as part of the ‘Ci-Dit ‘conference “Oralities and reported speeches. History, forms and practices” which will take place from September 30 to October 2, 2024 at the University of Wroclaw (PL).
For several years, Transcultures has supported the evolving i-Real project developed by Marc Veyrat, an XR hypermedia artwork that ®-MIXES VR environments triggered using cards placed on a game board.
VoXr e-Poetics
From poetic fragments, electro organic soundscapes and anonymous words recorded in situ in the host city/country prior to the international conference and voluntarily integrated into the multimedia device, this hybrid AV performance/conference will try to discover and develop in several theoretical reflections around and from this research – creation device: what are the issues and potentialities around the evolution of theoretical-poetic-sound discourses using digital technologies? What are the particularities of these hybrid writings? What interactions do they have with virtual and augmented reality environments. Which structures these participatory and immersive poetic sensitive maps
constantly produce in our necessary hybridizations with the Other and the machine? How the respective constructions of these identities augmented by these immersive encounters with a territory and a specific language are structured and questioned. How the way of hearing, receiving and translating bodily, intentionally or not, consciously or not, sounds, voices, songs, the musical dimensions of words open up and irrigate new fields of research…
By opting for an intermedia hybridity like the practices and discourses it calls upon, the presentation will thus be a game, a new way of meeting an audience based on cards associated with the multiform XR work ‘i-REAL’ (initiated by Marc Veyrat within the Société i Matériel, of which Philippe Franck creates the sound and poetic component) poetic-prospective which will be heard and seen live.
