Asterisms are the shapes drawn by human beings in the sky within one or more constellations. For instance, the constellation of Ursa Major (also known as the Great Bear) reveals the asterism of the Great Dipper.<\/span> \n \nThe installation transposes this concept into the world of sound. The idea is to weave links between participants as they listen to the sounds that circulate between them.<\/span> \n \n\u00a0 \n \nConceived by artists Aki Ito, Jean-Philippe Lambert and F\u00e9licie D’Estienne d’Orves, \u201cAst\u00e9rismes\u201d (Asterisms) is a virtual surround sound installation designed for smartphones and speakers that explores the delicate celestial mechanics of the stars. A digital arts project at the crossroads of the visual and sound arts, inspired by slowness, minimalism, frugality and delicacy offering a contemplative exploration in orbit.<\/span> \n \nThe artwork forms a starry sky where variations invite visitors to wander through space. Visitors are immersed in spatial audio, broadcast through their smartphones and loudspeakers. Each spectator wanders around freely, turning into an independent source of sound, bound by observation and listening to themselves and others. Each person is unique yet part of a larger movement, just like stars connected together in constellations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Jean-Philippe Lambert<\/a><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\n \n \n

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-Synth\u00e8se, Temps-R\u00e9el, Interactions Son Musique Mouvement and Espaces Acoustiques et Cognitifs teams. He is currently collaborating on the Soundworks framework, used by Ast\u00e9rismes, which enables distributed interactions on telephones (concerts, installations and experiments).
\nAlongside 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.
\nHis varied interests crystallize in his work on multimodal interaction systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>

Aki Ito<\/a><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\n \n \n

Composer Aki Ito <\/b>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.
\nPursuing 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.
\nIn this sense, time is relative and interactive for her, changing from one point of view to another. For the Ast\u00e9rismes 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>

F\u00e9licie d’Estienne d’Orves<\/a><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\n \n \n

Born in Athens in 1979, F\u00e9licie d\u00b4Estienne d\u00b4Orves lives and works in Paris.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 <\/span>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.<\/p>\n

Her work has been presented at the Centre Pompidou – Nuit Blanche – Le Centquatre 104 (Paris) – Le Fresnoy Sc\u00e8ne Nationale (Tourcoing) – La Friche Belle de Mai (Marseille) – Chemin\u00e9e EDF (Le Havre) – Abbaye de Maubuisson (Saint-Ouen-l’Aum\u00f4ne) – 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)\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
