The hypnotic effect of audio-visual vibrations.
This audio-visual work is presented as an abstract painting in motion. It is characterized by saturated nuances and wavy lines created using modular synthesis and feedback loops. Two oscillators and a polyphonic synthesizer generate soft luminous patterns. Audio-visual oscillations fuse and slowly transform, producing an almost hypnotic effect that affects the viewer’s mode of perception. As a result, the work inspires introspection and daydreaming.

About the artists
Charline Dally is an artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal, half of the duo le désert mauve.I nhabited by the subversive potential of radical softness, she considers hypersensitivity as a form of power. Her practice combines analog video signals, computer generated imagery, glass and textile through films, installations, and performances. Her works are intended to encourage introspection and sharpen our attention to subtleties.

She performed A/V at MBAM (Montreal), MUTEK (CA, ES, AR), Transart (Bolzano, IT), Dour (BE) and at Society for Arts and Technology (Montreal).
Musician and composer, Gabrielle HB oscillates between free improvisation and slow constructions. She finds in performance ways to bring out forms of tenderness, play and transparencies.She is half of le désert mauve (Charline Dally), which producess oft audiovisual works, and of the Jardin Joue (FlorenceGarneau), a minimalist ambient music ensemble. Holder of amaster's degree in Sound Arts from the London College of Communications (2021), she has performed and/or broadcast herwork at the Musée d'art de Joliette, the Ann Arbor Film Festival (USA), MUTEK (CA, ES, AR), the École d'arts de Calais (FR), the Société des arts technologiques and the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival in Montreal.
