Live performance
• Ruby-Maude Rioux (Canada); piano: Frédéric Volanti (France) – Residency
This year, the Video Mapping Festival invites you to the Atrium of the Palais des Beaux-Arts for a performance combining immersive generative mapping and live piano music. Ruby-Maude Rioux’s installation captures pianist Frédéric Volanti’s hands in real time to generate a surreal visual environment in which each note becomes form and movement.
► But where?
But where? transforms the pianist’s movements into living, luminous architecture. Projected onto three walls of the Atrium at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, the installation captures Frédéric Volanti’s hands at the half-grand piano in real time, generating a constantly shifting, surreal visual environment. Through motion tracking and generative systems developed with TouchDesigner, Ruby-Maude Rioux explores the porous boundary between human intention and the autonomy of digital matter, creating a synaesthesia where each note becomes form, colour and spatial movement.
Creation: Ruby-Maude Rioux
Live piano: Frédéric Volanti
