Astérismes

Jean-Philippe Lambert studied science and music, and was trained in live performance techniques. Since 2001, he has been working on a number of projects at Ircam, with the Analyse-Synthèse, Temps-Réel, Interactions Son Musique Mouvement and Espaces Acoustiques et Cognitifs teams. He is currently collaborating on the Soundworks framework, used by Astérismes, which enables distributed interactions on telephones (concerts, installations and experiments).
Alongside his research at Ircam – Centre Pompidou, he creates lights, music, interactions, instruments, software and videos for performances, concerts, films and installations, presented in various venues in Europe and Japan. He has taken part in numerous international artistic events as creator, technical director or performer.
His varied interests crystallize in his work on multimodal interaction systems.

Composer Aki Ito studied composition and orchestration at the CNSM in Paris. Parallel to her instrumental creations, her sensitivity and interest have directed her from the start of her career towards electronic music and new technologies.
Pursuing her concept of slowness, since 2016 she has focused on the study of a temporal system inspired by astronomy. The slowness she defines is a temporal space that changes slowly and perpetually, where several different periods coexist and influence each other.
In this sense, time is relative and interactive for her, changing from one point of view to another. For the Astérismes project, her role is to conceive sounds and processes that are both spectacular and inspiring and that suit the different forms, developing her temporal and compositional system.

Born in Athens in 1979, Félicie d´Estienne d´Orves lives and works in Paris.

A plastic artist whose chosen material is light, her installations and performances call on a phenomenological knowledge of reality and question the conditioning of our vision.  Light is both the tool and the subject of her work. She is interested in defining the physical and cosmological limits of space, through light and its speed.

Her work has been presented at the Centre Pompidou – Nuit Blanche – Le Centquatre 104 (Paris) – Le Fresnoy Scène Nationale (Tourcoing) – La Friche Belle de Mai (Marseille) – Cheminée EDF (Le Havre) – Abbaye de Maubuisson (Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône) – Watermans Arts Center (London) – New Art Space/Sonic Acts (Amsterdam) – TBA Teatro do Bairro Alto (Lisbon) – Ars Electronica (Linz) – Elektra Festival (Montreal) – Day For Night (Houston) – OCAT (Shanghai) – Aram Art Museum (Goyang/Korea)…
