Not only connected to their environment and the public but also sensitive to them, these works engage relations pertaining to material science, data physicalization, and sensory studies directly linked to socio-political and environmental issues. By investigating different materialities in motion (living, organic, computational) linked with the discreet signals of their surroundings, this video, presented as part of the Hexagram Network Garden at the Ars Electronica 2021 festival, aims to discuss new ways of reconstructing the interconnections between milieus, human and more-than-human agents, and the built environment. <\/p>\n<p><span=\"\"><\/span=\"\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sensitive membranes\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fNsCqDvZhy4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Credits : Brice Ammar-Khodja.

Inspired by the \u201clegendary Armenian hospitality,\u201d this installation invites the public to an improvised dialogue. As participants drink, eat, and debate the Armenian &#8220;art of living,&#8221; wired electronic sensors crawling across the table monitor and collect real-time data on breathing (alcohol concentration in the air, voice pitch) and movement (agitation, vibration). The environment responds to the actions of each participant: light distortions appear on the table, different soundscapes emerge from the acoustic membranes, and artifacts on the table slowly move throughout the dinner. Not only an observer but also a participant, the table wants to communicate with the public and intervene in the debate, sometimes disturbing and sometimes stimulating one\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition space is transformed into an experimental laboratory activated by the merging of the audience and the artists. The performance seeks to collect, produce and archive different aspects of Armenian culture, whose transmission remains through traditional orality.<\/p>\n<p><span=\"\"><\/span=\"\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Breath.am\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/etHG0kuCZzw?start=501&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><span=\"\"><\/span=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"uk-grid uk-grid-divider\">\n<div class=\"uk-width-1-2\"><b style=\"font-size:20px\">Creation and Production team<\/b><p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"uk-list\">\n<li><b>Coordination<\/b>: Brice Ammar-Khodja<\/li>\n<li><b>Design, production and computing<\/b>: Brice Ammar-Khodja<\/li>\n<li><b>Interactive sound design<\/b>: VH SOUND<\/li>\n<li><b>Performative music<\/b>: Alexander Hakobyan et VH SOUND<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uk-width-1-2\"><b style=\"font-size:20px\">Acknowledgments<\/b><p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"uk-list uk-list-small\">\n<li><i>Breath.am<\/i> was supported by Atelier Mondial (CH) and Kulturdialog Armenien (AR). <\/li>\n<li>The performative installation was exhibited at the Dalan Art Gallery as part of the Second International Print Biennale Yerevan 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Cr\u00e9dits photo : Brice Ammar-Khodja<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5 style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"uk-accordion-title uk-card uk-card-secondary uk-card-hover uk-padding-small test-color uk-height-smaller uk-overflow-hidden uk-flex uk-flex-top\" uk-parallax=\"background-color: #536f00,#b2c500; viewport: 1\">Fossilation (2021)<\/h5>\n<div class=\"uk-section uk-section-muted uk-padding-large uk-accordion-content\">\n<i style=\"font-size:18px\">A collective project carried out by Brice Ammar-Khodja, Alexandra Bachmayer [student-member, Concordia], Samuel Bianchini [collaborator member, EnsadLab Paris], Marie-Pier Boucher [collaborator member, University of Toronto], Didier Bouchon, Maria Chekhanovich [student-member, Concordia], Matthew Halpenny [student-member, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al], Alice Jarry [co-investigator member, Concordia], Rapha\u00eblle Kerbrat, Annie Leuridan, Vanessa Mardirossian [student-member, Concordia], Asa Perlman, Philippe Vandal [student-member, Concordia], Lucile Vareilles.<\/i><p><\/p>\n<p><span=\"\"><\/span=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>A large bioplastic membrane hovers above the ground like a film strip. Its colour is animated by the fluctuating lights and cables stretching out towards the ceiling. Rather than being the result of shooting an image, these motifs result from a slow form-taking process: the imprint of an actual electronic display device. Like a fossil from our own era, the components printed onto matter slowly disapear. The membrane and its sensors are connected to the pipes of Centre Pompidou and convert the fluxes of the building into electricity. The unstable light thus reacts to interferences originating from the capturing of the space&#8217;s residual energies and enhance an ecosystem in which the image is composed with the space.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped\">\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_011.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7255\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_011.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7255\" class=\"wp-image-7256\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_012.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7257\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_012.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7257\" class=\"wp-image-7258\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_013.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7259\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_013.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7259\" class=\"wp-image-7260\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_014.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7261\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_014.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7261\" class=\"wp-image-7262\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_015.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7263\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_015.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7263\" class=\"wp-image-7264\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_016.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7265\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_016.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7265\" class=\"wp-image-7266\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_017.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7267\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_017.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7267\" class=\"wp-image-7268\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_018.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7269\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_018.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7269\" class=\"wp-image-7270\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_019-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7271\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO12_019-1.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/?attachment_id=7271\" class=\"wp-image-7272\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n<p><span=\"\"><\/span=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-size:20px\">Creation and Production team<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"uk-list uk-list-divider\">\n<li><b>Coordination<\/b>: Alice Jarry (Design and Computation Arts, dir.
