Alouette III
Une sculpture sonore solaire qui rend hommage à l'esthétisme du premier satellite canadien et à la poésie des transmissions sans fil du passé. Composé de petits panneaux solaires, réflecteurs et autres capteurs environnementaux, l'espace sonore qui se déploie dans « Alouette III » s'exprime de façon autonome mais peut tout aussi bien être activé par les passants. Des circuits sonores originaux ont été développés en une composition influencée par la lumière ambiante et le mouvement des visiteurs.
Cette première installation est une commande du Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville en partenariat avec Atoll Art actuel.
Elle se compose de circuits logiques, d'alarmes piezo et de panneaux solaires.
Emilie Mouchous’s Alouette III [Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville] was a handsome wooden structure on stilts, standing about eight feet tall, lined with small solar panels on its top, and also spaced along the upper edge. Each of the panels was hooked to a small digital alarm System. Created as a tribute to the first two Canadian satellites, this piece was powered by the panels, which determined the volume and pacing of the sonic activity within the cabinet. The audience was invited to cover the panels to alter the sound, and this was the piece that drew the most interaction. People pressed their ears to the box, and fiddled with the panels, trying to figure out what it was possible to do.
