INTERFACES makes us follow the singular journey of a character fascinated by technologies and the ways objects can be put in motion. Losing himself in the interfaces he designes, he explores their limits and finds out their weaknesses, revealing his own humanity. Between real and virtual, feat and sensibility, he invites you to share these moments of life which modulate his universe - a journey between childhood and consciousness.

Jugglery seems spectacular, and almost magical, when the feat is highlighted, precise and minimalist when the graphic composition is appropriate, or sensual and obsessing when the emphasis on human feelings is necessary. But, what would happen if we wanted to change the codes of this practice? What would happen if we gave to these objects - vectors of our intentions - the capacity to speak a language of their own ?

Image4-1434708430

The vision appeared clearly to us. By combining jugglery and technology, we will create smart objects, equipped with sensory capacities, enabling them to communicate their positions and to move autonomously. A paradigm shift that immediately ask the deepest questions about the use of technologies in our society and the fantacized relationship between the juggler and his objects: INTERFACES was born.

The show incite us to walk on, the path of the author who built his own identity through the digital technologies that he still uses today to stimulate his creativity and shake the traditional codes of performance writing. An initiatory trip that makes us wander from human being to objects, from objects to the world, with interfaces which enable us to link different dimensions: real and imaginary, abstract and poetic.

We want to give life to objects, to give them a body, an autonomous behavior, a skill to study what makes them unique, precious and weak at times. Throws, drop shots, shocks, accelerations, pressures, compressions, rotations and translations, free-falls, frictions, balances and suspensions: so many perceptible phenomena in which juggled objects are vectors of expression and life infused by the artist that manipulates and expands, thanks to the digital technologies.

Innovative_en-1435933020

The design of intelligent accessories of jugglery is one of the main innovations of the show. These objects will be equipped with sensors, diodes and modules of wireless communication that allow a bilateral exchange of informations with our computer programs.

We’ll hopefully be able to take over the physical and rhythmic relations that take form between the juggler and his instruments and to use this information flow to transfigure these interactions by digital arts.
