Experimental Party Unit (EPU) is a techno-sensory experience designed to letting it go. Its aesthetics draw from several inspirations ranging from theme parks to prefigurations of futuristic raves.

At the crossroads of engineering and design, EPU is rooted in a research approach navigating between spatial and sound experience, technicality and plasticity.

EPU explores the party as a space of total experimentation not only for the public, but also for the artists. A mirror of science fiction, it is envisioned as "one of the only remaining sociotechnical and utopian laboratories in today’s world". Consisting of interactive machines where sound parameters interact with the kinetics and programming of the lights, Experimental Party Unit aims at the development of a social prototype, a zone dedicated to letting go, a sensory enclave activated by a joyful celebration of the technique.

Initially designed for “Undomestic” an exhibition curated by Gael Charbau for Audi Talents that took place at the Palais de Tokyo in June 2021, EPU was later exhibited at Maintenant Festival, Rennes, France in October 2021.
