Dalle Lcd & Led or Cold Cathode

Since the beginning of 2010, eRikm uses the physical properties of "prepared" TV screen cathodes, in the musical sense of the term, to obtain "improvised" variations :
the degradations he applies beforehand to the screens he uses generate evolutionary images due to the gradual disappearance of the physical qualities of the screen and of the cathodes it contains. A paradoxical phenomenon, since the progressive death of the screen gives rise to new images, in an almost permanent recycling movement that lasts until either the power or the screen is turned off.

A Canopy of Accidents
An acousmatic piece created for the outdoor, February 3, 2010. 
Commissioned as part of the project Sirènes et midi net (Sirens and noon on the dot) in Marseille.
The sirens as sound objects and broadcasting tools.

Initially composed for a public area.
The online version is a sound imprint of the original acoustic projection.
The idea of transposing this sound piece to a home listening environment, by streaming and in relation to a webcam image, activates several different senses.
A temporal and symbolic crease between the memory of a work created for the outdoor, reactivated through a subjective image of reality.
This is still a sound piece connected to a public space outdoors, but its status is dematerialized through the filter of the Internet.
A Canopy of Accidents echoes the propagation of a sound and a specific sequence, which can be heard across an entire area at a time T.
An acousmatic web that brings back to mind the actual principle of the Web.(1)
The connection between the original accident (2) is intrinsically linked to the paradigm shift in this work, in an increasingly active political context,
ranging from discipline to control (3), the eye of the webcam.
...
A suspension, a snag
the heartbreak of our great collapse
the monthly truncations, preliminary to the disaster
collective revelations of an incident to the accident, these 4,500 siren horns
tear the acoustic and temporal landscapes of distant sound.

Accumulation and repetition of a complex variable image -
This features several states of subtractive synthesis of the image
source, which were then reorganized and composed.
The work on images involves the same processes that I have developed with sound. I use very short fragments of visual or sound material (video or photographs) that I explore digitally with a relationship of disincarnation, fragmentation and generational synthesis of one or several elements.
