In-situ laser system
PRACTICAL INFO
Fri. 8 and Sat. 9 Nov. 2024 7pm > 11pm
Rotonde Fountain Aix-en-Provence Free admission
Programme presented as part of the Biennale d’Aix
The Rotonde fountain will be staged like a precious object, surrounded by 16 laser beams that create a moving, immaterial case to protect the architecture. The installation operates on three scales: that of the fountain, that of the square and that of the entire city. When not striking the white stones of the fountain, the lasers point directly at the sky, where they strike the clouds. These beams emerge through the roofs of buildings, creating a landmark in the city during these two evenings.

1024 Architecture
1024 operates at the crossroads of art and architecture, combining spatial practices, digital technologies and visual creation. Merging disciplines and media, the studio considers architecture and inhabited spaces as evolving structures. Audiovisual installations become perennial devices, architecture is dismantled as temporary structures, scenography emerges as artworks, and multimedia performances are transformed into immersive real-time experiences. From one-night projects to permanent installations, 1024 architecture creates original works that resonate with their environment.
