Claude Alma ( France )

The research axes for this project of Claude Alma at ZK/U (international residency programme of "La Mire") were determined during the first residency session in September 2020, in particular during the contacts established with the Astrophysics Institute of Potsdam (AIP).

They revolve around the sound transcription of data collected by the AIP teams, more particularly concerning cosmic electromagnetic fields.

They lead to the conception of an installation whose "archisculptural" and sound elements will define singular listening spaces, in constant movement, in the image of all the celestial bodies in the universe, taking, as the composer Iannis Xenakis did, the opposite view of what Goethe thought ("Architecture is a petrified music")

This residency period (Aug. Sept. 2021) will therefore be devoted to the production of these elements.
