Some experiment in Delphous

Hello there,
Thurday night was our performance about the Erasmus IP 2010 in Delphous. With Blandine Perrus, Marieke Cruchant and myself, e.g Martial
Here is our protocol.
FROM REAL TO REAL THROUGH VIRTUAL
As a journey to Greece, experimenting for the first time in an Intensive Program, we question the added value of the voyage into the virtual dimension.
Pithya, from the sanctuary of Apollon had already caught our attention as a possible metaphor of the virtual world before our arrival. We were eager to visit the ruins of the temple and catch, maybe, lingering sounds of past oracles.
It is known that the consultants didn't see the Pithya during their meetings. Rapidly it was decided not to work on images but only on sounds and words, fitting into the research of the different labs we were participating in.
Spacialisation, quickly stopped because of its complexity, gave way to a live session, a performance indeed, like the Oracle, using a diy talkbox, a computer, an iphone, real human voice; each component refers to the process of prophecies/trip from the real to real, mediated through the virtual. Blandine was the pythia, the talk box, the virtual/magical world. The live voices, the message, the audience, the consultant. (second part in a following message).



The other project we developped during those eleven days, is the production of soundtracks merging space field recordings and self made using samples or synthetic sound filtering them. Once again, numerical deal with reality, sur-reality, convoking in between worlds, as next world, instrumental transcommunication, oracle or spiritism.
