Egregore and Exploring Group Behaviors
Artist: Nicolas Monfgermont
Egregore is an audiovisual project that aims to exploit the group movement pheneomenas to generate complex and expressive behaviors. These behaviors are simulated and controlled by a computer in order to be reproduced in sound and image. This work is a continuation of chdh’s work on audiovisual instruments, but aims to radicalize the search.

8 Sliences
Artist: Nicolas Monfgermont
8 silences is a performance piece, part of the Laps series, thatoffers a sensible representation of Internet by broadcasting audio streams that travel and reverberate trough the web. Initially silents, the streams progressively incorporate an infinity of transformations or "errors" that modify the sound as it circulates on the network.
These alterations are comparable to a form of erosion caused by the network space - they are a key to allow different mental representations of this digital topography. Presented as a live performance, 8 silences is a sound immersion in the heart of data flows.
This work is realized in the Pure Data software.
