Ars Natura

by Annabelle Playe and Hugo Arcier
2025

Ars Natura is a hybrid audiovisual performance combining sound, musical composition, lighting design and 3D computer-generated video.  

Exploring our relationship with living things through contemplation, this piece is a science fiction, somewhere between a legend of the future and the sound archaeology of a forgotten world, taking us on a journey of total immersion into a powerful, wild and even disturbing nature.

Ars Natura is available in a variety of versions, with or without lighting design, to suit the possibilities of the venue.

SYNOPSIS:

Ars Natura - legend of the future or sonic archaeology of a forgotten world. 

Ars Natura, representations of nature and brutalist architecture seem to unfold a false world. Is it a before or after Anthropocene, a simulation or our planet? Ars Natura is marked by human and animal absence, apart from the performer who initiates the appearance and disappearance of the image through sound. Survivor or initiator of another world, human, android or cyborg wondering about her origins? A viewer, an interface, a certain solitude.

Ars Natura grapples with our connection to the living world through contemplation: a science-fiction that immerses us in a powerful, wild and even disquieting nature.
