Co-creation of a Transitional Smart Sculpture for Voice changes
Résumé
Aporia is a pluridisciplinary adaptation of a play of Bernard-Marie Koltès, led by plastic artist Alain Quercia in a live performance mixing different Art expressions, Scientific theories and Technologies. To propose original reflections about "otherness", the unique actor of this project embodies in turn all the characters of the play. His performance is supported by real-time pitch-shifting software, which allows him to modify his own voice without affecting its emotional details. These voice changes are remotely controlled by a smart sculpture integrated to the staging. In this paper, we present the used voice processing tool and the iterative co-design of the remote controller in collaboration with the director of Aporia.
