NUIT BLANCHE 2015

At the occasion of the NUIT BLANCHE 2015-White Night 2015 of Paris, APT artis Dominique Blais, visual artist, will present "Appartus", an installation that plays the sound of a polar landscape.

During the residence "Arts at the poles" at the Institut Paul-Emile Victor in Ny-Ålesund (Spitsbergen) during the International Polar Year 2008, Dominique Blais recorded daily frequencies and magnetic field variations using a VLF radio receiver. From these natural radio frequency harvested in the Arctic Circle, inaudible to the human ear, he created a series of works and phonographic records. Appartus (Tunnel Edit) is a device that invites the public to listen to its raw, intimate and singular and Birth of a polar landscape, real and imaged and its interpretation by four musicians invited by the artist in 2013: Krikor Mika Vainio, Stephan Mathieu and Rhys Chatham.
