Distant Movements explorer ensemble la possibilité d’une expérience de danse devant un écran Durée 15 min. Guidé par Muriel, Daniel et Annie en français et en anglais. Si vous ne parlez que l’une de ces langues, vous pouvez rester dans votre propre mouvement jusqu’à ce que vous compreniez à nouveau les invitations. Nous voulons susciter un état de conscience propice à danser ensemble en ligne. Nous cherchons à développer un regard intérieur qui s’ouvre sur une danse en résonance. Mais en même temps nous allons apprendre une qualité d’écoute qui permet de continuer quand on ne comprend pas. Nous danserons ensemble.
Si vous souhaitez vous joindre à nous, vous devez installer l’application de zoom sur votre appareil. Téléchargement gratuit : https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting. (nous savons que zoom a des problèmes de confidentialité, mais nous n’avons pas encore trouvé d’alternative assez stable)
Distant Movements étant un des sujets de la thèse de Muriel Piqué, nous enregistrerons nos séances afin de pouvoir revenir sur ce qui s’est passé. Les participants pourront également avoir accès à l’enregistrement sur simple demande.

Distant Movements exploring together the possibility to experience dance in front of a screen Duration 15 min. Guided by Muriel, Daniel and Annie in French and English. If you only speak one of these languages you can stay in your own movement until you understand the guidance again. We not only want to arouse a state of consciousness favorable for dancing together online; for developping an inner gaze that opens to a dance in resonance, but we will also learn to listen to something we don’t understand. We will dance together. Eyes closed. Attentive to interior movement. Connect to https://zoom.us/j/3210554238 More information (French and English) : distantmovements.tumblr.com
If you want to join either of these you need to install the zoom application on your device. Free download: https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting . (we know zoom has privacy issues, but we didn’t find a stable alternative yet – we also secretly enjoy supplying only worthless data)
The sessions will be recorded; we want to be able to go back to what happened. Everyone who participated can also ask for the recording – we will happily send it to them.
On the 22nd of February 16h30 Paris time during the festival Audioblast #8, Utterings sera diffusé en direct en ligne et sur un système de spatialisation radiophonique installé à la Plateforme Intermédia, 4 Boulevard Léon Bureau, 44200 Nantes. Organisation APO-33. Online listen here: Concerts en ligne. 22-23/02 2020.
Utterings is a project by Annie Abrahams (FR) and Daniel Pinheiro (PRT) with Constança Carvalho Homem (PRT), Curt Cloninger (US), Nerina Cocchi (BE) and Derek Piotr (US) as invited artists and collaborators. Technical assistance: Jan de Weille. Since this event Utterings is a band.
Utterings is a sound-only networked performance experiment where six artists commit to a 30 min long exchange across distance. The artists gather online and, while blindfolded, they engage in utterings as communication, building on solo’s, duo’s, chorals and silence, creating an on the fly “new” language, that forwards attention, trust and affects above rationality. Six sound streams (no instruments used) are interlaced and entangled in one single polyphonic composition shared live in the audioblast program. The protocol for this performance will be written collectively in the week before the performance.
As an individual it is very difficult to address the problems related to all kind of global emissions. Of course you can act privately, but we need more. Utterings is a collaborative attempt to go beyond the borders and closures created by languages, opening up and transgressing these in a performance that probes meaning through pre-language communication and formerly un-inhabited expressions. Communication not as transmission of information, ruled by a code or abstract conventions, but connected with affection and attention will counter data imperialism and rationalist exploitation.
how to go beyond glossolalie? what will be the intention? is attunement enough? if we manage to avoid meaning we may discover something Martine Neddam: Glossolalia is ‘dancing with words’. Dance first, before moving beyond dancing. Igor Stromajer: An extremely intriguing concept. Who knows, perhaps you don’t even have to go beyond glossolalia. If glossolalia is done “right”, it already goes beyond … itself.

Samedi 14 décembre 14h-16h30, Expériences Mouvements à Distance et Dronards dans le cadre du Séminaire IMPEC.* – Interactions Multimodales Par ECran. Ancienne Usine Fagor, 15e Biennale d’art contemporain de Lyon.
affiche Présences Numériques
Mouvements à Distance, conçue pour 12 participants munis de leurs smartphones et oreilettes/casque dure 10 minutes. Dispersé.e.s dans l’espace (sur le lieu du séminaire, mais aussi plus largement en ligne), connecté.e.s via le réseau à une interface de téléconférence ordinaire, les particpant.e.s ferment les yeux et se laissent guider par une voix dans une exercice de mouvement partagé. Leurs téléphones mobiles fonctionnent comme des extensions photosensibles de leurs mains et produisent, projetées sur un écran, une seule image. Les yeux fermés, les particpant.e.s se concentrent sur leur corps et ne contrôlent plus leur image. Celle-ci devient du coup la trace directe de leur vécu, une transposition de leur mouvement en résonance avec les autres. Quelques personnes de l’audience sur place peuvent participer à l’expérience, ainsi que quelques personnes en ligne.
Mouvements à Distance est un satellite du projet Distant Movements avec Muriel Piqué et Daniel Pinheiro.
* Le séminaire mensuel IMPEC, dirigé par Christine Develotte, accueille des collègues de différentes disciplines : sciences du langage, sciences de l’éducation, sciences cognitives, sciences de l’information et de la communication, psychologie, sociologie et des doctorants qui centrent leur objet de recherche sur les interactions par écran.
It is not a proposition for a revolution nor a resolution for an evident relational crisis, it is an experience on connectivity and its fundamentals.
Distant Feeling(s) #7: Our annual re-activation of Distant Feeling(s)*. Once again we shared time together, online, without speaking and with our eyes closed.
Distant Feeling(s) #7 happened through a video-conferencing session in zoom** on Saturday Dec. 7th 6:00 – 6:15 PM GMT+1 (Paris time).
Online. Open to all. Duration 15 min.
A silent, yet sentient, relational encounter. A telematic embrace where nothing seems to happen and where the lack of action is precisely its potential for fighting alienation. We are performing absentia within the network, while the network is functioning. We research togetherness through the Internet as a way to counter its fallacy which drives the (im)possibility of collective strength. Can we find novelty in an already established system, and act from within, towards (an)other purpose(s)?
** If you want to join you need to install the zoom application on your device. Free download from https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting and connect to 5 min before the performance starts.

One year ago we: the group 3G(enerations) Alix Desaubliaux, Pascale Barret and Annie Abrahams, started a research project called Constallations. Using challenges and surprises, we defied each other in nine sessions of what Annie called contemporary net art, Pascale a non-binary inclusive laboratory and Alix performative & collaborative explorations.
ISELP, Institut d’Art Contemporain, invited 3G to come to Brussels for their 10th, this time real-life, session. Saturday, Mai 25, 16h you are welcome to meet the three artists and Sandra Bébié-Valérian of OUDEIS at the Boulevard de Waterloo in Brussels. Sandra will give a short talk where she analyses the project in the frame of OUDEIS’ Autorama project. Pascale, Alix and Annie will present their recently written Methodology of Constallations* and will try to translate it’s essence to the real space of the exhibition Waiting to blossom *Constallations by Pascale Barret. Could be an object, a performance, a reading, a text, an installation …. or a mix of all this.
Constallations is devoid of a goal and has no predetermined path. Constallations is what we are when we give up our personal objectives and, when, based on our own history and skills, we tackle a challenge prepared by one of the group. Constallations is made of travels through things one doesn’t control, of jumps in the void. Constallations is an exploration full of unexpected discoveries. Constallations is a learning tool / a practice radically open to everything. Constallations is a concrete utopia – on a small scale, and temporary, it must be said – but it is, and so carries a hope for a different society. It’s a perspective. Constallations is a path, an adventure, a chemistry, a soup that upsets habits and creates links.

* The Methodology of Constallations will also be available in English and French on the Constallations website after the 25th.
Wikifémia met en lumière des biographies de femmes remarquables telles qu’elles figurent dans les articles de Wikipédia. Cette programme, basée sur l’arborescence de la version francophone de l’encyclopédie en ligne, offre aux visiteuses une visualisation documentée de centaines de femmes qui ont contribuée à l’histoire de l’informatique. Les articles sont traduites en française, c’est-à-dire entièrement à la féminine, afin de démasculiniser autant la langue française que l’histoire.
3G(enerations : Annie Abrahams (Montpellier), Pascale Barret (Bruxelles) et Alix Desaubliaux (Lyon), trois artistes, trois femmes, trois générations, se retrouvent en ligne pour Constallations : un projet de rencontre où le faire est utilisé comme instrument pour défaire sa propre réflexivité, sa subjectivité systématisée et pour se lire les unes à travers les autres afin de générer des moments créatifs et inattendus.
Pour les sessions prochaines (8, 10 (plein) et 11 mars) nous accueillerons quelques personnes intéressées.
Si ça vous tente de nous joindre pour une session, écrivez un émail à Alix, Pascale ou Annie.
Les contraintes :
– il faut être disponible toute la journée de 11h à 17h.
– avoir installé et testé l’application zoom.us
Chaque instanciation est initiée / hébergée par l’une des artistes comme une invitation et un défi aux deux autres. Jusqu’à maintenant six sessions ont eu lieu : Defragmentation, Crittertalk, musingCyborg, QueeringDommage, fem-technoecologies et Partktology.
Constallations est une conversation sous la forme de 3 x 3 sessions de désirs / tempêtes / lavages cérébraux.
Constallations est un outil radical pour un non-art.
Constallations est une confrontation attentive entre générations, visions et pratiques.
Constallations est soutenu par OUDEIS dans le cadre de son axe de recherche sur l’exposition et l’automatisation.
