LUCAS PARIS (QUÉBEC, CA):

Emotional Synthesis is a form of perceptual and emotional manipulation. It manifests as the omnipresent power of publicity and graphic design in contemporary marketing, hijacking our attention as much as possible.For this performance the concept is explored by imitating commercial styling and coming up with derived audiovisual forms. This act of inversion and reappropriation manifests as a non-corporate enchantement, speaking to a common vocabulary we’ve had no choice to assimilate.This concept is coded into the core of realtime generative networks, synthesizing morphing textures of light and sound from a common DNA and fine tuned according to perceptual mechanics.This performance was created in residency at Recto-Verso Québec (CA), Gnration Braga (PT) and with the support of L.E.V. festival at Laboral Centro de Arte Gijon (ES)
