Empreintes sonores

“Empreintes sonores” is an interactive installation that looks at the traces our daily lives leave in the digital space. Signs of the times, the installation uses a voice-activated assistant to record continuously. The sounds thus captured are triturated, remixed and played back in the environment. When significant vocalizations are detected, they materialize visually. It then becomes possible to navigate in the granularity of the frozen sound by moving freely in space. Thus, it is no longer the sound that travels to our ears but our ears that must travel through the sound.

This project was created by Victor Drouin-Trempe (V.ictor) and myself, from an original idea by Victor. Jules Roze collaborated to the visuals.
