VOLTA PRESENTS VIDEOPOLIS   World renowned French audiovisual artists Franck Vigroux and Antoine Schmitt present their new live performance VIDEOPOLIS.  A powerful live audiovisual duo, blending intense electronic sound with generative visual systems.

A site-specific sound installation in which the Naval Store becomes a living organ. Acoustic feedback loops are generated and modulated by interconnected systems: real-time Fremantle weather data — wind speed, humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure — flocking algorithms that govern the collective behaviour of sound across space, and the resonant frequencies of the microphones and the building itself. Found objects suspended from the ceiling trusses act as speaker units, connected by cables radiating from a central control system. The installation evolves slowly and unpredictably over the exhibition period, accumulating and shifting like salt itself. ‘Organs, Breathes, Salt’ is an outcome […]

Our mission is to make a low pressure, fun atmosphere, and a powerful, attentive listening […]
