location: L’Archipel
Derniers Souffles, initiated in 2021, explores the acoustic characteristics of obsolete electronic components, their mineral origins, and the industrial processes behind their fabrication. L’archipel (The Archipelago) plays with the musicality of the breaths of diodes and transistors through a sound installation performable by two people; an attempt to create a language to speak to oneself and to others while shedding words. Drawing on the archipelago as a figure of relation, the installation connects sculptures-as-instruments through cables and shared experience. Activated during performances, concerts, and lectures, it becomes a medium for collective musical and theoretical expression.
Sonia Saroya develops a fragile, discreet universe through installations combining sculpture, digital art, and sound. Her sound sculptures and autonomous “tool-artworks” explore landscapes and listening journeys, drawing on philosophy, humanities, and low-tech practices. Edouard Sufrin beschouwt kunst en technologie als pharmakon – zowel vergif als remedie – en gebruikt immersieve, locatiespecifieke praktijken om zich te verzetten tegen spektakel en dominante techno-industriële verhalen. Hij combineert artistiek onderzoek met kennisoverdracht via autonome tools, lezingen, workshops en onderwijs aan de Université Paris VIII, École des Beaux-Arts de Paris en daarbuiten.
