Antoine Schmitt, a Paris-based digital artist, creates generative art exploring movement processes.
Franck Vigroux and Antoine Schmitt present excerpts of their works, the live audiovisual performances - Cascades and Atotal.
Cascades is inspired by the concept of waterfalls, here represented by flows of pixels, which movements are generative, meaning never the same. For the music, this same concept is used as inspiration to compose music using electronic instruments, a sort of continuum reminding of surge and immutability. Fruit of a decade long of collaboration between the two artists, Cascades represent both infinite movement and stability, but also where catastrophes can happen: a synesthetic artwork, both contemplative, reflexive, and a physical experience.
Atotal is a work based on hyper synchronisation of sound and visual, slowly deconstructed during the performance.
