Expérience is a programme dedicated to today’s digital creation as much as to early electronic experimentation and other inventive machinery. It’s a space for discovering experimental forms and a showcase for the avant-garde.


Spectral _ink, Nicolas Bazoge

Visual arts | Spatialized live sound | Interactive light scenography

Spectral _ink is an abstract and introspective dive at the crossroads of performance, sound creation, lighting design and interaction writing.

Our relationship with the ocean has always oscillated between fear and fascination. A source of subsistence, escape or well-being, it can also reveal the extent of its danger and its dark, threatening nature.

In Spectral _ink, Nicolas Bazoge explores these ambivalent feelings through the element of liquid. For his new visual and sound performance, he imagines the expanse of the ocean trenches as the arcana of the human brain. He sees waves on the surface of the water as brain waves, and ocean currents as electromagnetic flows propagating through neurons.

Immersed in an original light and sound installation, the public will be invited to dive progressively into a sensory and introspective experience that will engage their imagination.

The interplay between the light patterns and the spatialized sounds that emerge from the darkness – like luminescent abyssal creatures, strange spectral figures or hypnotic mental projections – will then perhaps resonate with them like unspoken emotions or submerged perspectives.
