"La mer m'appelle dans les métros parisiens "

                        Video art piece illustrating an emotion between the ocean and the human being.
The film style plays between 2 rhythms, that of the metro representing modern life and the slow
rhythm of the ocean. This hypnotique  state  of the film brings  the person watching to feel a melancolic ocean full of pain and forgiveness.

In the depths of the parisian undergrounds, a woman finds herself facing her imaginary world.
She imagines the inhabitants of the sea speaking to her of their feeling world. She finds uses her imagination to touch upon the source of life, the sea and in this way she finds freedom from the confinements of modern society.

Project synopsis

"Le dernier chant de la baleine" is a study performance in english and french for the upcoming transmedia project called "Oceana Melancholia".  This musical perfomance will interact with manipulated film projections of the sea creatures navigating through polluted zones of the ocean overlapping with cities.

Interactive Installation made with stone, river sand, glass, light and the recordings of Përmeti's river. This was made in collaboration with Shpend Havolli during an art residency in Përmet, Albania this August 2012 with the invitation of Art-Ist International organisation.

                               

A video of the people of Përmet interacting with the installation " River and my Thoughts". I added a chant I improvised with the broken piano of the art center of Përmet 2 days before opening. I thought the two went well together.

                            

Working for Sirius Production doing interactive filmmaking with youths and artists of Paris. Here is an example of using 'interactive film' with young people in Paris. Performed at espace "CENT QUATRE"using the meta mallette with max msp software.  

Interactive "Weaving a North African Rug with the Human Voice"

                

 Interactive Installation inviting the public to sing into the microphone using Max Msp with Jitter.

Virtual Berber motif rug animated by the interactive voice of the public. Navigating a 3d animation with the voice gives more active participatory presence for the public. Navigating what one watches is a more empowering and active experience with the projected film. Archetype images inspired by Berber motifs, come forth and transform themselves while the guest continues to 'sound out' into the microphone.  A relationship is established between the person and the new media object.  (Presented in the USA, Turkey and France.) 

Interactive "I May not Know your Language but I Know your Heart"

                 

Interactive 3d animation projected onto a hanging canvas behind which I move to animate it with my body and voice. Maya software, and Max Msp were used to create this piece.

Inspired by Berber rug weavings, this project represents a woman weaving her own life into the universe. 
(Performed in New York, Boston, Tulsa, and Ankara.)
