Courants continus

Courants continus explores, in a sensory way, the acoustic characteristics that make up the sound of moving water –both in its richness and its simplicity. Between the drip of a tap and the roar of a torrent, how is a stream recognizable as such? And how do hundreds of thousands of tiny, theoretically discernible sounds merge into a single overall noise —bordering on white noise— the familiar sound of a flowing river?

Several hundred individual loudspeakers unfold and inhabit one of the arches of the RLC, like an inverted river. Each one emits an artificial and unique sound, together forming the impression of an aquatic substance in motion, unfolding throughout the space.
