Jean Pichè & Purform . Elektra Festival Canada . IE/PI

Jean Pichè, renowned pioneer of the genre, presents his visual-sonic triptychs, characterized by technical virtuosity, color and poetry. The result is obtained through recording-techniques daring the impossible, image manipulation processes which drastically alter the iconography, and a use of music as determining the video sequences. Black Box, multimedia and interactive performance created by Purform, explores the psycho-sensory effects of sound and luminous electronic synchronizations, recorded by plunging the audience in a “black box”, a purely abstract ambient where the walls are video screens.
