sound poetry - installation
dodecafonía (2016-2018)
sonic and visual installation of aleatory sound poetry
twelve voices sound in space
twelve voices show themselves in a plane
infinite automaton
in this installation, the twelve voices of twelve poets read or say a fragment of a poem,
of a conference or of an interview. an algorithm reads by chance, on a maximum of twelve superimposed parts, fragments
of the chosen fragment, straight or reversed, at normal or modified velocity, and projects them,
again by chance, between the eight loud speakers forming a cube around the listener. another algorithm projects on
a screen an image of the poet, at a size, a color and a position determined by dodecaphonic series.
these voices use various tongues ; the two versions differ essentially by the chosen poets and their languages (seven languages in version 1, ten in version 2).
