vibrant user.online

Montreal artist Lucas Paris takes over the Satosphère with vibrant user.online, a real-time audiovisual performance where touch becomes language and the machine, a play partner. Performed entirely live between a touchscreen interface and the dome’s immersive environment, the work is built around an audiovisual instrument designed from the ground up by the artist: game engine, audio synthesis, and visual language. Every gesture enters into dialogue with the machine to shape a living score, composed entirely live. Taps, swipes, and tactile gestures trigger sounds, visual textures, and pictograms inherited from digital interfaces. Freed from their utilitarian function, these symbols are free to mutate, collide, and reorganize into living constellations. Within an ambient yet saturated sonic landscape, the system listens, computes, and responds in an instantaneous feedback loop. Every contact opens a negotiation with digital matter. At the core of the project lies an exploration of intuition as a mode of navigation, where gesture and listening precede thought. vibrant user.online transforms the dome into a sensitive organism, traversed by an ongoing dialogue between human and machine. * First week (June 16-20) co-presented as part of the ELEKTRA Festival.
