Cécile Babiole and me will be playing Donjon @ festival Nemo on april 9th 2010!

Independant R&D engineer and artist, crafting digital instruments for audio/visual live performances, installations and interactive applications. I post some of my works and news on this site.
simple timelapse
Simple timelapse is a quick tool to make timelapse movies.
It uses an arduino for setting shutter intervals, an 4N35 opto-coupler to protect the camera from any accidental current, and a led to notify when shutter is in action. Focus was left manual to prevent from any automatic adjustement (that we don’t want anyway in timelapse!) and spare camera battery. Code and circuit was derived from intervaluino borrowing the opto-coupler idea from MaxTech, available at GitHub.
Used for the preparation of l’arbre qui cachait la forêt.
Meta-Screen
Turn a gothic church to a giant pinball.
Meta-Screen was a video mapping project led at Puce Muse, to transform any surface into a projection screen. Developments included tools to quickly map a shape or a contour, as well a real-time algorithm to interact with these shapes, like physics engine to make virtual objects bounce on architectural features.
Meta-Screen is available from Puce Muse’ Meta-Librairie.

107724404×8
Digital moving picture.
107724404×8 is the audiovisual rendering of a binary pdf file raw data.
The video reveals the internal structure of the file as both visual and sonic shapes. Compressed parts of the file will look and sound noisy while uncompressed parts will show redundant patterns and somewhat harmonic sound spectrum.
Original video is 10min long and 1024× 768px.
Beware of the rrrraw sound.
Radio roulette
Development of a “radio-roulette” Max patch for the “Atelier de Création Radiophonique”. The application is receiving a set of live radio streams across Europe. The user can then “launch” the roulette and the application is wheeling in a round-robin across the various radio streams.
Client : Atelier de Création Radiophonique” – France Culture
RADIO DAY : AUX QUATRE COINS DE L’EUROPE © Radio France
THE 4 CORNERS OF EUROPE Live from Paris, a special program to celebrate the Radio Day of European Cultures By Philippe Langlois and Frank Smith Director Gilles Mardirossian Europe, we know, is an immature continent, where development is coming gradually. This program is not aimed to treat about political nor economical trends, but its purpose is to reinstate all the poetic power that this territory had. To achieve this, we shall connect – we shall hear them – with the four islands which are on the four corners of Europe : Sptizberg, Acores, Canaries, and Cyprus. Initially build as a showcase, this program will associate for each country a variety of several sounds streams : some good traditional music, a compilation of documentary archives, a mixture of landscape sounds as well as the live broadcast of local webradios and the satellite communication of the weather forecasting centers which are on site. The responsability of the final product will be the one of the person in charge of the program, who will have total freedom to compile the various sounds collected.

media music room
transforming a place into a collective audiovisual instrument
media music room is a collaborative workshop held in DauHaus, Sofia [BG], aiming at transforming a place into an interactive and collaborative music audiovisual instrument, through hacking and bending things at hand. During a week, a small team worked using all kinds of recycled and in-situ materials (bench, lamps, microphones, clothe) and softwares (max/MSP, pure data, processing, flash, etc.) to create an interactive setup, made of a bench-o-phone, ceiling-lamps-turned-to-audio-delays, pen tablet drumloop mixer, joystick-contolled sound scrubbers, audiovisual feedback and synched projection fitting the location architecture. This camp was open to any visitor as an opportunity for local people to meet, share ideas, bring their own audio/video material and conceive together. At the end of the week, an event was organized where anyone could play the multimedia instruments.
The project was also meant as a thought-provoking exchange on the notion of instrument in the contemporary society, following theories raised by John Cage or Christopher Small.
The project took place in studio DauHaus, during my residency in Sofia at InterSpace Media Art Center.
Special thanks goes to the French Institute for their support, and to Goethe institute and Pro-Helvetia for lending beamers.

cyclescape
Scrolling the landscape with an indoor bike.
Recycled indoor cycle, hacked dynamo, arduino and custom electronics, old PC running a pure data patch.
An indoor cycle is perched in front of a projected video screen, whose wheel rotation controls an interactive video. When the rider is cycling, the landscape is scrolling at an exagerated speed. When driving slowly or at rest, the screen displays abstract moving images from the limbos.
Cyclescape was made for “Vanité #10 : Visible Invisible” by Luis Pasina & co, during Nuit Blanche 2008, Paris.
