Charon RC

After a degree in cinematographic analysis and writing at the ULB and various practical video and editing courses, Charon RC became interested in the possibilities offered by new technologies. Her interactive digital installations allow her to construct narrative audiovisual universes activated by the movements of the body. She explores the contrast between reality and fiction, the relationship between body and mind, the distance between perception and imagination. This reflection always starts with a documentary subject and heads towards subjective abstraction. The Open Lab created by iMal in 2005 allows her to exploit the rushes of her short film Mouvement Giratoire, which describes with a subjective camera placed at wheel height the path of a bicycle in the city. In this installation, the interaction is triggered by a fixed bicycle connected to a digital device.

Ventilation

Ventilation, end 2006, makes use of the links between the (micro) movement and its intangible signifier : feeling. The work allows for up to three participants, via travelators.

9 Femmes dans ma ville

In contrast to these two installations, which use audiovisual techniques, a greater degree of abstraction is obtained with 9 Femmes dans ma ville. The narrative video then fades to make way for a complex scenography. Remote sensors placed on the mannequins, and 9 photo-electric boxes connected to Arduino X-Bees and activated by the agents, open the door to the emotions conveyed by the voices of the 9 women interviewed.
