Perpective Lyrique

PERSPECTIVE LYRIQUE from 1024 on Vimeo.

First the streets of Paris (at least in Inception), now the facades of Lyon. In December, the Théatre des Celestins was the location of an unlikely phenomenon in the architecture world: a classical Beaux-Arts building smushed into a Gehry-esque blob. And all thanks to the vocal patterns of a very captive audience.

1024 Architecture, the duo who invented the oral video-mapping, first concentrated on simple but effective theatrical lighting . They described their installation Perspective Lyrique as focusing on “the interaction between body, space, sound, visual, low-tech and hi-tech, art and architecture.” According to Co.Design, the architects “created a custom program that would analyze the tones in an audience-member’s voice and then mathematically apply it as a deformation to the image in real time.”
