InLand is a 3D video game played live. Hugo Arcier is the only one who knows the passages. The performance is broadcast live on Twitch. InLAND is a hybrid project combining electronic devices, digital art and video game ‘let’s play’.
The performance draws as much on the tools of game creation as on his abundant visual culture, creating a porous link between the two worlds. InLAND opens the doors to a meta-universe, where the artists explore notions of passage, crossing and metamorphosis.
Annabelle Playe is a multidisciplinary artist.
She enjoys exploring voice, sound, video and writing. She studied classical singing and composition with Sergio Ortega in Paris. She is a soprano and she interprets contemporary music.
Today her music is oscillating between electroacoustic, drone, and noise. She focuses on the physicality of sound and on timbre, with an emphasis on musical structure. Her live setup is made of electronic instruments. She performs in France and abroad.
She plays alongside Marc Siffert, Alexis Forestier, Hugo Arcier, Alexandra Radulescu, Philippe Foch, Franck Vigroux. Her first albums «Matrice» (2012), «Vaisseaux» (2014) and «Geyser»(2019) were published under the label DAC Records. She wrote two theatre monologues, «Ligne» and «Mater», published in French by Alna Editions.
In 2010, she founded «AnA Compagnie», a production compagny dedicated to cross disciplinary projects.
Hugo Arcier is a French digital artist (actually he is an artist in a digital world) who uses 3D computer graphics in various ways : videos, prints and sculptures. Devoted rst to special effects for feature lms, he has worked on numerous projects with prestigious directors such as Roman Polanski, Alain Resnais or Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
This profession has allowed him to gain a deep understanding of digital tools – in particular 3D graphic images – which is essential for the birth of his projects.
He regularly does commissioned works that uses computer graphics, like in 2012 the album cover “Cruel Summer” for Kanye West.
Since 2004, he develops plastic and reective artworks that meticulously dissect the specicities of 3D computer graphics and virtual worlds, being part of a new form of art.
His artistic works have been featured in numerous festivals (Elektra, Videoformes, Némo, etc.), in collective exhibitions in galeries and art venues (New Museum, Palais de Tokyo, New Media Art Center of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, galerie Magda Danysz, galerie Plateforme, etc.) and contemporary art fairs (Variation, Slick).
His works has been shown in two monographic exhibitions in France : “Nostalgie du réel” in 2013 at Le Cube, and “Fantômes numériques” in 2016 at Lux Valence. He was named “Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres” in 2016 by the French minister of Culture Audrey Azoulay.
Marc Siffert works in the field of experimental and improvised music. He also composes for movies, animated films and documentaries. He is inspired by double bass, bass, field recording, sound composition, revox and electronic lute-making in his musical practice.
After making his debut as a rock bassist, he discovers double bass at 19 and wins a gold medal at the National Conservatory of Montpellier in France seven years later. He also won the Charles Cros Academy’s prize at the Superior Conservatory of Geneva.
His musical approach pursues a complete exploitation of all the double bass ressources, where body and matter are combined to search for new sounds.
Refusing any label or compartmentalization, he is also the creator of real-time sound spatialization devices and works on spectral splitting. Iconoclastic and subversive but always honest, he goes beyond the notion of style to favor artistic intention.
