Despite the many accounts, the Western scientific community denied their existence for decades until some hypotheses about their origin began to surface in the 1950s, but are still debated today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some believe that the natural VLF (Very Low Frequency) radio waves produced by the aurora borealis can be perceived in the observer\/listener&#8217;s environment. Some natural elements (minerals or crystals) would act as receivers and transform the radio waves (electromagnetic) into the audible spectrum (acoustic). Without rejecting any hypothesis, it is this last one that caught S\u00e9bastien&#8217;s attention for his project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite successful recordings following a three-week residence on And\u00f8ya in Norway, S\u00e9bastien realised that the VLF waves emitted by the aurora are increasingly difficult to perceive because they are more and more drowned out by artificial signals. They are therefore bound to disappear. Inspired by this unique context, and in the continuity of his previous work, S\u00e9bastien is currently developing a body of work around this research, which will allow the audience to perceive the sounds of the aurora borealis while preserving them in light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-1024x690.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-1536x1035.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-2048x1379.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">And\u00f8ya, Octobre 2021 \u00a9 S\u00e9bastien Robert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-1024x690.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-1536x1035.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-02-2048x1379.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lofoten, February 2022 \u00a9 S\u00e9bastien Robert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">Share this event on social networks<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"socialLinks socialShare\"><ul><li><script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/the-lights-which-can-be-heard\/&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436'); return false; }<\/script><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=<;url>\" onclick=\"return fbs_click()\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"facebookLink\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/the-lights-which-can-be-heard\/\" target=\"_blank\" ><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The+lights+which+can+be+heard&amp;url=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/the-lights-which-can-be-heard\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitterLink\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artist<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"artisteBlock  \"><div class=\"artisteBlockLeft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/TLWCBH-ArcticWave-01-1000x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"artisteBlockRight\"><h2>L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Zsolt Bordos<\/h2><div class=\"artisteContent\"><p><b><span dir=\"auto\">L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Zsolt Bordos<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">  is a Hungarian artist born in Bra\u0219ov, Transylvania (Romania), in 1977. He moved to Hungary in 1997, where he studied at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and then, thanks to a scholarship, at the MediaLab at the UIAH (University of Art and Design) in Helsinki. He has been working with video projectors since 2000. Recognized as one of the pioneers of the genre, he made a name for himself with his early 3D VJing performances (2000\u20132004), his innovative projections (2005\u20132006), and his 3D mapping works created since 2007. Having participated in numerous art exhibitions and festivals, he has presented his work in more than 40 countries, including the Mapping Festival in Geneva, Glow Eindhoven, Signal Prague, Lux Helsinki, Filux Mexico, Ars Electronica Linz, ZKM Karlsruhe, and the Adelaide Festival of the Arts. Bordos&#8217;s areas of interest include object mapping, architectural projections, and set projections for theater and opera, and he is involved in projects with M\u0170PA (Hungarian Palace of Arts), the Semperoper in Dresden, the Dijon Opera, and the Barbican Centre in London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Bordos has launched several projects, such as: the first  <\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">video mapping contest<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">  in the world (held in Budapest in 2010),  <\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">ALO \u2013 Art of Light Organization<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">  (2020),  <\/span><span dir=\"auto\">the  <\/span><span dir=\"auto\"><b>Manifesto of Light Art<\/b> (2021), <b>the Light Art course at MOME<\/b> \u2014the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest (since 2021), co-founder and president of <b>LIGHTHOUSE<\/b> \u2013 the Association of Hungarian Light Artists (between 2021 and 2023), initiator and co-founder of <b>LAM \u2013 the <\/b> Budapest<b>Museum of Light Art<\/b> (2022), co-organizer of <b>the biennial symposia on light<\/b> in Hungary (since 2023), member of the <b>John von Neumann Computer Society  ( <\/b> since 2024) , co-chair of the <b>International Kepes Society<\/b> (since 2024).<\/span> <b><\/b> <b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-002ffff5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Credits &amp; mentions<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally commissioned by STRP Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creation realized in coproduction with the platform <strong>CHRONIQUES CREATIONS<\/strong>, supported by the DRAC Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, the R\u00e9gion Sud Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, the City of Marseille and the French Institute in Paris<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the financial support of Stroom Den Haag, DICR\u00e9AM, Fonds [SCAN] Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes, and Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the intellectual support of The Royal Library of the Netherlands, The Troms\u00f8 Geophysical Observatory, Fiona Armery (University of Cambridge), Rob Stammes (Polarlightcenter), Harald Gaski (University of Troms\u00f8 ), Hans Ragnar Mathisen and Matti Aikio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the technical support of Lucien Nicou (design + production), Leandros Ntolas (light + optics), Pim Kerssemakers (metalwork), Mark IJzerman (TouchDesigner) and Zois Loumakis (hardware + software)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the artistic supervision of Jean-Emmanuel Rosnet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initiated during the Arctic Wave residency (And\u00f8ya, NO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Partner: Les M\u00e9janes &#8211; Biblioth\u00e8que et Archives Michel Vovelle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-noMarginBottom wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-noMarginBottom wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11201,"menu_order":0,"template":"","edition":[66],"type_oeuvre":[25,71,95],"class_list":["post-8520","oeuvre","type-oeuvre","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre\/8520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/oeuvre"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/edition?post=8520"},{"taxonomy":"type_oeuvre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type_oeuvre?post=8520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
