[Sept 20 to Dec 21]
Artist Yann Nguema will create a work for and in an immersive approach during his residency. The ATOM project, devised for immersive environments in stereography, is based on exploring a complex geometry figure belonging to Polytopes 4D. Research will initially build on the brand-new hardware belonging to CEA/Y.SPOT: SIRCE. This is a multi-surface bas-relief projection space made possible thanks to 3D glasses created by Frederic Ravatin.
The first phase of the project consists of an exploration of the tool and the creation of a 360°/3D animation using images of a complex geometric figure, a 4D polytope.
The second phase will entail producing a new, lighter and more mobile 360/3D system for release and the construction of the media server to read the 3D contents.
Yann Nguéma - Multimédia artist
With a scientific background, Yann Nguema eventually focused more on artistic creation. As a musician, he founded the group EZ3kiel in 1992 for which he developed the entire coruscating visual production, which has subsequently set the standard and become a trademark. He focuses his work mainly around performing arts, constantly searching for the image-music association. He very soon integrated computer tools in his creative process and developed his own software, adding an interactive dimension to his productions. As a designer of exhibitions, installations and staging, Yann Nguema has devised multiple projects that articulate technology, research and poetry. He is currently an ambassador artist for the Lyons Fête des lumières.
Arnaud Doucet - Light and multimedia designer
After several years of discovering light creation tools, a passion for new technologies naturally enhanced his contemporary art creative dynamism. This sensitivity took form within the Ez3kiel collective in the search for innovative staging proposals. Co-author and designer of the PixelMotion and MagicScreen project in 2014, which prefigured the new stage setting of Ez3kiel on the L.U.X tour. 2015 focused on developing the “Interactive Mapping” project presented for the first time at the Chateau de Candé in 2014. 2016 witnessed the success (1st prize ) of the “Evolutions” Mapping at the Lyons Fête des lumières.
