AN IMMERSIVE

VOCAL

JOURNEY

The Assembly project is an immersive quest for the voice  at the crossroad between physical and virtual worlds.

Discover an installation-based VR experience and performance inspired by the ancient practice of sounding together and taking you into the vast lands beneath language, into the sonic ecosystems of our timeless vocal territories.

The journey started in 2022 with the presentation of ‘The Assembly’ as part of the Esch2022 and Kaunas2022 European Capitals of Culture.

In 2023, the team is taking you on a second chapter of the journey, ‘The Memory of Voice’, where you can experience the VR within an upcycled scenography and new performance.

THE MEMORY OF VOICE

Welcome to the vast lands of our vocal territories. Here roams the Memory of Voice (MoV), made of our timeless vocal archive.

As you walk past “The Assembly” tree, VR players move under its branches, immersed deep down beneath language.

Now take off your shoes and lay down on the intricate grounds of the MoV’s quest to rediscover their long forgotten tones during a performative soundscape.

You discover sound shapes around you as they bloom and come alive, inviting you to play and tune them into a plural and multilayered composition taking root in the plurality of our voice.

From this collective song emerges the MoV embodied by the performer. With their newly-found voice, they guide you into a space filled with undulating light shapes and engage the audience in ways of sounding together, using different vocal practices and bodily movements.

In the Memory of Voice, the presence of others brings the soul of our voices alive.

UPCYCLING APPROACH

With “The Memory of Voice”, directors Charlotte Bruneau and Catherine Elsen, technical director Rokas Kisonas, scenographer Dovile Gecaite and programmer Vaidotas Gruzas decided to explore the creative opportunities of sustainable artistic transformation, reusing “The Assembly 2022” scenographic material to create a new ecosystem for the project.

 

 

Most of the project’s initial material was upcycled in collaboration with Luxembourg’s ecovillage BENU VILLAGE and sculptor Serge Ecker.

THE ASSEMBLY

VIRTUAL REALITY

Within the installation space, and under the branches of the Assembly tree, five visitors at a time  can experience the 18′ VR experience “The Assembly”.

 

In a world of electronic beats and dreamy melodies, the MoV guides you through a space populated by sound shapes.

 

Containing inspirations, fragments of memories, melodies and chants, these shapes invite you to become part of a multi-dimensional instrument with the other players and create a unique collective composition.

A multiplayer VR experience

In the VR experience, you dance with four other players to the sound of dreamy melodies and electronic beats, created by the collective movements of your bodies. Led by the mystical figure of the Memory of Voice, you become part of a multi-dimensional instrument and move with sounds placed all around you in this first Assembly.

A concert-performance

In the installation space, the mystical creature Memory of Voice reappears, embodied by the singer-performer who guides the audience through this third Assembly. Surrounded by 360 degree sound live mixed by an electronic musician, performative interventions - and a separate concert-performance - invite you to listen and interact with the sound objects around you to collectively create a new instrument.

The Team

The Assembly is created by a multidisciplinary team of artists and creative developers from Luxembourg, Lithuania and beyond.

to tell and sing our stories, define our memories.

Memory arises from what is spoken.

Cedric Fischer, Oliver Lang and Damiano Picci

are creative coders and sound engineers from Luxembourg. They are part of Mad Trix, a Luxembourgish company creating interactive technology for immersive spaces. They works include the sound implementation and design of internationally-acclaimed VR experiences and installations such as 'Ayahuasca', 'My Identity is This Expanse' or '*pfh', among others.

Stefan Palitov

is an XR and cultural researcher, practitioner and filmmaker. He focuses on interactive and non-interactive storytelling, play systems, XR experience design, virtual and hybrid cultural spaces, new media in education, HMI and art & tech.  He holds a BA in philosophy and an MA in Media, Arts and Culture and exhibited in Europe and Asia. Former Artist in Residence at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe and UNESCO Media Art Residency in Changsha, China.

René Alejandro Huari Mateus

dances, performs and choreographs. Her*his journey through the institutional networks that organise these three artistic manifestations in Germany has shaped and located René's identity amidst the intersections of class, gender and origin discrimination, which in turn leads her*him to search for artistic practices that refuse any reproduction of violent structures. René engages with the fruitful tension between choreography and dance as a tool to stimulate queer and feminist thinking.

Pierre Antoine Vettorello

is a textile, fashion designer based in Brussels. He studied at the fashion department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and is now a doctoral researcher at Sint Lucas school of Arts. He is using textile design and garments as a base for storytelling. He creates sculptural and statement silhouettes, often printing on silk, using feathers and objects of daily use. Vettorello questions our relation towards our sartorial history and how we can reveal non-Western genealogies which have been erased.
