Luke Paris
8 April 2019 – 03 May 2019
Lucas Paris has been working for more than ten years with sounds and images in real time, and building software and digital instruments.
His research, applied to audiovisual performances, focuses on engaging audiences with multi-sensory, immersive and emotional content and scenographies. The main objective of his artistic proposal is to find new ways to carry out digital performances. The artist considers different forms of synthesis as his artistic medium, and develops his relationship with it through design, interaction and improvisation.
Paris has been touring the world with his projects since 2017.
He studied digital music and digital instrument making at the University of Montreal.
Project in residence
AntiVolume INT/EXT
AntiVolume is an immersion in a synaesthetic space of timbres and colours. This version, IN/EXT, investigates the movements and dynamics that emerge between inside and outside.
In this series of performances, the audience witnesses a volatile and energetic sculpture made of light and sound. The result of algorithmic research, it is sculpted in real time from the artist’s improvisation. Four columns of light occupy the stage. The work envelops the audience, who perceive it as a physical and textured experience.
In this constantly evolving work, each performance, partially improvised, is unique and changes according to the venue and the audience. Lucas Paris draws inspiration from the wide vocabulary of electronic music: noise, ambient, IDM, EDM… These references are reinterpreted by passing them through the filter of a powerful musical personality and a personal fantasy.
Lucar Paris will carry out a residency at LABoral Centro de Arte prior to the presentation of AntiVolume INT/EXT at LEV Festival 2019.
