The Sensitive Art Lab. - interview with Jean-Noel Montagne
Today I
grant you with a video I made in a laboratory called
“
Centre de Ressources Art
Sensitif
“. It means Ressource Center for Sensitive
Art, sensitive here refers to your senses and to
sensors as in light sensor. It’s a project
realised by Jean-Noel Montagne who wanted to build
a place where one can learn and understand the role of sensors,
real-time and interactivity in
media art. Jean Noel is giving us the ressources to achieve this
goal thanks to the help of “Mains d’Oeuvres”
who is hosting the project. So how does it work? well basically
let’s say you want to make an new media art installation that works
in real time or a piece of interactive dance and you want to know
which kind of sensors are right for you and how you can use the
output signal to achieve what you need. You can just go there and
try the many sensors found on the walls, find one you like and then
choose how its signal will be treated and finally test it on a
particular action (light, video, mechanical actions, spatial
sound…) and you can switch the sensors, signal treatments and
actions as much as you want until you get the desired effect. Be
ready for a lot of fun!
In the video you will see Jean Noel explaining how it works and how the project could finally exist after about 5 years of political fighting, during the interview you will see the process of actually building the room with the different people involved and at the end the public opening.
