Live : Yannick Franck (Idiosyncratics Records)

Musician and sound artist behind the independent label Idiosyncratics Records, Yannick Franck will perform one of his intense and poetic soundscapes... A journey through immersive walls of sound built using vocals, several instruments and non-musical objects. This time, Franck will come up with what he likes to call an "auto destructive" performance, in reference to Gustav Metzger's "auto destructive art". Though Franck won't destroy his equipment or set himself on fire, the performance deals with the ideas of destruction as a creative process and more broadly decay and transience as central sources of inspiration.

Workshop#2 : Clone yourself!

Imagine being able to duplicate objects the same way you can duplicate documents in a photocopier. Today, with cheap 3D cameras and 3D printers, this idea is no longer science-fiction. With this workshop, get intimate with these new technologies! Come have your face 3D scanned, and for a selected few, materialised on our 3D printer. This will also be the chance to see what is going on in our iMAL Fablab.


Artistic intervention

Harri de Ville leads a reflection about urban life and modernist architecture. In their tridimensional works and performances, Alexia de Ville de Goyet and Inkeri Harri confront alleged beauty of confined spaces with the bodies and nature negation's that are surrounding them. The work proposed at temp#2 is part of a new series of audiovisual installations based on fog walls. Walking home alone through the city at 5 am, neons, fog and blurred vision...
