André & Michel Décosterd - Cycloïd-E
Original description: “To start off, a desire to approach mechanisms that produce visible undulatory movements and to set them against the development of sound waves. A pendulum. […] The equilibrium in the energy exchanges between the segments is almost perfect; the trajectories are surprisingly right and natural”

CYNETART Festival 1998

CYNETART Festival 2002
Granular Synthesis - Areal
Original description: “Small coarse-grained units of information jerk and shake in light/against-the-light mode. The biological unit ‘human being’, tolerated here to a certain extent, humbly tries to withstand a Wall of Sound which is to get more and more infernal during the following hours… AREAL is a several hour long and improvisational show, a laboratory…”

Robert Darroll & Kiyoshi Furukawa - Stele
Original description: “Does an increase in complexity imply a qualitative evolutionary advance and are we able to impose a sense of direction, or indeed a goal, on that process? [...] From this distant perspective, all that can be witnessed is an apparently aimless and fragmented ebb and flow, leaving myriads of spent forms adrift in the virtual afterworld of memory.”

Using a wide range of sensors and tools, the animals become able to explore and to play with sounds and sonic moods.
