During Nuits Sonores 2011, we conceived and directed a real time audioreactive scenography in Transorder's big hall in Villeurbanne.Disk Matrix, is composed of 288 disks, sized 50 cm diameters, matched in 3 massive broadcasting surfaces of 96 disks each.The principle of the matrix allows to adapt to the configuration of the hall meanwhile keeping visual unity.The mathing thus defined functions as a kinetic sculpture.This scenic device permanently evolving is completely modular and scalable.Therefor each gig is a pretext to new experimentations.The global principle is to dynamise the invasted space and to visually translate the musical atmosphere.The technical device allows to welcome outsider video artists working in a more conventional way, thanksto real time video capture system.

On October 4th 2008, Digital Slaves and Charlie Mars came to Nuit Blanche Amiens and showed a nightly interactive urban mapping called Mortelle Banane. The theme of this year edition was dedicated to monsters and other freaks.The matter is to use a building with its architecture and bring it to life all night long with many different video projects as a baroque burp concert, a furious babana or the dance of monster poos...The spectator is himself a part of the projection since he's invited to take place inside the Monstromaton (Monster Booth) so as to see himself instantaneously transform in hairy or sticky monster intagrated in the mapping.Following this experience, confounded visitors will be offered a banana by Charlie Mars himself.An hideous play adventure for everyone, which as no begining and no ending and from which you're the hero.
