Estelle Schorpp FR/QC — Écosystème(s)
Écosysteme(s) is an auto-interactive sound installation inspired by the communication techniques of orthopteran insects. It invites attentive listening and silence. A configuration of about twenty loudspeakers transmits sound samples whose morphologies, inspired by the songs of insects, form a sound microcosm. Using two microphones and an activation and threshold system, each sample enters or disappears, depending on the “sound space” it can occupy. The audience’s own sound presence modifies the behavior of the environment, which strives to find a balance.
