MA

Starting Time: 19:00

MA is a sound and light performance by visual artist and performer Maxime Houot. A luminous, mechanical and futuristic choreography activated by a resonant, hypnotic composition, a ballet of controlled yet unpredictable spotlights. With this monumental kinetic work, the artist invests the space in a singular way, offering a unique and subjective sensory experience: “Why not imagine MY representation. MY representation of a place, at a given moment. An arbitrary representation. Without this representation, there’s nothing. A void. MY is my interface with the void. I act on it by perceiving it. MA allows everyone to live momentarily in a timeless space, to form their own idea of the luminous world in which they are immersed, and to analyze its stimuli in an individual and personal way

Maxime Houot
Since 2013, Maxime Houot has created numerous sound and visual pieces presented on the international scene. Exploring the limits of his own perception, he deploys a practice that is both artisanal and conceptual. Artisanal since the gesture, the manufacturing, the obsessive accumulation of simple shapes are the bases of his work. His questioning begins in the workshop, by making the device that will support his next creation. Even if the term “Digital Artist” can be used, contact with matter, machines, objects, is fundamental in his work. And this artisanal gesture serves as the starting point for a conceptual approach. Graduated in applied physics, the world around him, even put into an equation, has always been a source of fascination and wonder. The time that does not flow, relative reality, void digitization, and man as a digital machine are concepts that accompany him and feed his imagination. Most of his creations are produced by the company Collectif Coin. Company with which he also likes to experiment by crossing his work with other artists.

Collectif Coin
An artlab based in Grenoble (France), Collectif Coin is dedicated to producing both monumental and intimate installations and performances. Resolutely transdisciplinary and rooted in the digital arts, Collectif Coin mainly manipulates light, sound and the body.
