Array to Audiovisual PerformanceLe Commun (Bâtiment d'art contemporain)

Artists in succession, Ulf Langheinrich and Kurt Hentschlà¤ger play with sound and images like playing a music instrument. They dissect and manipulate fractions of seconds which they amplify and arrange to visual symphonies.

POL subjects the audience to an overwhelming flow of stimuli and strives to achieve a perceptional situation of disorientation and recollection. POL "attacks" the audience, by challenging all sensual barriers. POL, a semi-surround environment composed of 7 video screens, features audiovisual samples of a human being, of acclaimed singer/performer Diamanda Galas. A mind-boogeling intense experience.
Not recommended for pregnant women and people suffering from epilepsy or heart problems.
