WAVE IS MY NATURE
The project draws from the theory of Wave–particle duality which considers the light to be a particle and a wave at the same time. In this case, the notion of the “wave” is uniform for the sound wave, light wave and a “tangible” kinetic wave with wide amplitude, physically presented in the space as stretched cables moved by a system of motors.

INTO THE VOID
An array of triangles is placed on the floor, each one has a LED strip on the back which are connected to an Arduino. On MAX, series of random numbers generators and different probabilities trigger a signal to each triangle, making it turn on or off. Max communicates with the Arduino through Maxuino.At the same time that a triangle is triggered a MIDI message is sent to Ableton Live and plays notes on a MIDI Instrument and an OSC message is sent to Processing for the Visual output.

LUXATE
Luxate explores the perception of light and space awareness. Activated by motion, Luxate morphs from an AV installation to a dance performance, generating a live dialogue between the performers and the environment beyond the screen.
Concept and art direction Joao Beira, 2015.
LUMISOKEA
Stage design and projections for Lumisokea Audiovisual Performance
Visuals by Yannick Jacquet, Music by Lumisokea, 2012.
BOÎTE NOIRE
With BOÎTE NOIRE (Black box), Martin Messier puts a beam of light, projected into a large transparent prism, into sounds and movements. Trying to define the edges of this elusive element, he materializes the extension of its shapes and decomposes its frequencies. In a dark room, the spectator sees and ears the development of the white specter: its contradictions and distensions, its curves and lines, its appearances and disappearances. It is as if the box, filled with ghostly signals, was containing pieces of past events and with his installation, Messier invites the public to put history back together.
