Born from the collaboration between visual artist Yannick Moréteau and electronic music composer Flore, Sensitive Abstraction is an artistic performance that shows the relationship between Arts and Mathematics.
Imagined as a stroll through different graphic and sound environments, Sensitive Abstraction is an immersive full-dome work accompanied by a creation in spatialized sound, intended for all audiences.
A collaboration between visual artist Yannick Moréteau and electronic music composer Flore, Sensitive Abstraction is an artistic performance that explores the relationship between the arts and mathematics.
Conceived as a stroll through different graphic and sound environments, Sensitive Abstraction is a full-dome immersive creation accompanied by a spatial soundtrack.
Like a synaesthetic saunter through a series of moving tableaux, in turn minimalist, figurative, surrealist, and playful, Sensitive Abstraction reveals and questions the influence of major mathematical concepts in the field of music and the arts, revealing their poetry, their tangible manifestations, and their aesthetic modernity.
Sensitive Abstraction blends technological innovation and poetry to create a captivating immersive experience. The images, carefully designed using generative graphic tools, come to life by interacting with sound waves manipulated in real time. This to-and-fro between image and sound has been nurtured by numerous exchanges with mathematicians, enabling a live interpretation that is both free and faithful to the mathematical subject.
Long used as a tool for composing or analyzing works of art, mathematics has become one of the most exciting creative subjects of the 20th century.
Vasarely, Escher, Le Corbusier, Philippe Leblanc, Kandinsky—there are many artists who work with, borrow from, or refer to mathematics in their work. In music, this filiation is everywhere and forms the basis of music as we practice it today (harmony, solfeggio, rhythmic patterns, etc.). This method has also become a compositional tool in its own right for composers such as Steve Reich and Brian Eno. It was this very aspect that excited Flore and was the starting point for this new collaboration with Yannick Moréteau.
