The installation is based around a large GONG of light, created by concentric colour projections and sounds propagating powerful vibrations in space. The specter of the GONG situates itself between the visible and invisible, the projection is punctuated by retinal impressions. The variable densities of sonic resonance in space are felt as much as heard. Sound penetrates the body of the spectator with bass frequencies. Acoustic pressure and hyper-syncopated pulsating images bring us to the heights of dizziness.

"Gong" is part of the « Nouveaux Monstres » exhibition.

« Nouveaux Monstres » (“New Monsters”) features works by fifteen international artists as well as a selection of films from the “Némo” festival. In sixteen interactive and playful installations, the exhibit features some of the new audio and visual devices emerging out of the transformation of technological interfaces used in contemporary art, digital art, cinema and design; devices which have become veritable instruments of living spectacle. From simple curiosity to dread, the monster fascinates us, belongs to the land of shadows, threatens to cross over into the real. Co-produced by la Maison des art de Créteil, le Manège de Maubege, Lille 3000 and TNT, this selection transposes and conjugates the universal question of monstrosity, through works by artists such as Canadian Bill Vorn, Belgian Boris Debackere, Swiss François Cahlet, English artists Andrew Bell and Phillip Worthington, Spanish artists from the Lalalab collective, the American collective Temporary Distoirtion and French artists France Cader, Félicie d’Estienne d’Orves, Paul Granjon, Pierrick Sorin and the Scénocosme duo. In addition, the « Némo » festival has compiled a selection of future cinema and the best of digital art today, with fourteen audio-visual performances which tie into the theme of “new monsters.” Among a few classics from Chris Cunnningham, Dominic Hailstone or 1st Avenue Machine, we discover new curiosities.
