Les Voixes Electriques : Electrornithologie Foyer at Château de Cerisy
Les Voixes Electriques : Electrornithologie
As part of the Foyer Lire avec les vivantes : les carnet d'oiseaux I took inspiration from the installation Le Jardin des Voix Timides created
at the Jardin des Plantes in Grenoble in 2021. I proposed an audio
installation that diffused - via portable speakers hidden in the trees
of the grove next to the Château de Cerisy orangery that welcomed us -
synthetic sounds. Influenced by the subject of the foyer and perhaps
also by the colloque Jean Cocteau, le déniaisement des lettres et des arts which ran in parallel I decided to title this project Le Voix Electriques.
To
the participants in the foyer I proposed listening to a selection of
synthetic electronic sounds, which to my ear sounded like signals,
strange and mysterious voices. Collectively we have chosen a dozen
"voices" and assigned them a fictitious name, pseudo Linnaeus, and a
descriptive card pseudo scientific, of imaginary beings; the project was
entitled "Electrornithologie".
For one night, these voices constituted the imaginary and fantastical fauna of the castle's grove.
