Visualisation 3D inspirée des résonateurs de Helmholtz : pour chaque fréquence diffusée dans le lieu, le résonateur de helmholtz correspondant est projeté en taille réelle.

[fr] Le lieu comme instrument potentiel
ESPACES CHANTANTS est un programme qui analyse les fréquences de résonance d’un lieu choisi, de manière à en déterminer les caractéristiques acoustiques. Il met ensuite en vibration les différents éléments présents (structures et objets) selon des rythmes aléatoires. Ce dispositif peut être appliqué à des lieux complexes et constituer ainsi des sympathies entre plusieurs espaces résonants.
Par nos déplacements et nos positions, nous percevons des modulations et des échelles continuellement changeantes. Chaque espace produit sa propre signature sonore constamment réactualisée et peut être alors redécouvert à travers ses spécificités acoustiques résonantes, ses liens sympathiques avec d’autres espaces.

[en] The site as a potential instrument
ESPACES CHANTANTS is a program that allows to analyze the frequencies of resonance in a chosen place, so as to determine its acoustic characteristics. It puts then in vibration the various present elements (structures and objects) according to random rhythms. This device can be applied to complex places and establish so sympathies between several resonant spaces. By our movements and our positions, we perceive modulations and constantly changeable scales. Every space produces its own constantly updated sound signature and can be then discovered through its resonant acoustic specificities, its sympathetic links with the other spaces.
