SUPERCOLOR PALUNAR
VIDEO FEEDBACK EXPERIENCE
Jérôme Noetinger & Lionel Palun

1. TV version.
"Three screens stacked in totemic formation: one receives the audio signal from the sound mixer, another receives video information and the third is the common processing point. Everything comes from feedback processes: sound signals generate visuals, visual signals generate sound. An intense supercolor experience of sound and vision."

2. Widescreen version.
"Two superimposed projections, one created by the sound, the other driven by video feedback from the first. The sound generates the picture, the picture generates the sound. The TV set acts as an amplifier, the camera becomes a microphone, the synthesizer is the source of lights and the mixer scrambles everything. It is a shared electrical signal that is the raw material of the duo."

Supercolor Palunar of Lionel Palun and Jérôme Noetinger.

Ainsi nommé en référence au Tryphonar de Tournesol dans ”Les bijoux de la Castafiore”, le système de Lionel Palun se présente sous la forme de trois écrans de télévision posés l'un sur l'autre, du plus grand au plus petit, et a été conçu pour étudier les réactions visuelles de ces tubes cathodiques aux divers stimuli sonores qui peuvent leur être envoyés. Lionel est lui-même un ancien chercheur du CNRS, passionné dès son plus jeune âge par la physique et l'informatique, qui a décidé un beau jour que son emploi ne satisfaisait plus ses désirs créatifs. Et ce que la recherche a perdu, 1'art est heureux de pouvoir en bénéficier car la prestation des deux acolytes fait sans doute partie des expériences les plus étonnantes qu'il nous ait été donné de voir. La technique m'en est absolument inconnue mais, d'après ce que j’ai pu glaner comme informations, les signes envoyés depuis les machines sonores de Jérôme sont traduits en langage visuel par les écrans de Lionel, lequel interfère alors sur leur développement, créant divers feedbacks (ou boucles) que le musicien récupère à son tour... Et ainsi de suite ! Il en résulte une forme despectacle télévisuel totalement abstrait dans lequel les couleurs et les trames évoluent puis se mêlent, s'effilochent et se perdent tandis que l'électronique fournit une bande-son tout aussi peu figurative. Hormis le spectacle et la performance, c'est surtout cette poésie du bricolage et l'exploration de nouvelles pistes possibles qui séduit dans ce duo, une humilité d'artisan tout a fait bienvenue dans cet univers contemporain tellement satisfait, parfois, de lui-même.

"In my live work, I want to always remember that sound is only a vibration of the air. I try to build some kind of sound environment or sound architecture with different strategies".

Lionel Palun was born in 1972.
http://www.lionelpalun.com

After a degree in engineering (Physics) and a PhD in nanotechnology, he worked for two years as assistant professor in Grenoble, France. After an encounter with contemporary dance and in particular the work of La Cie Pascoli, he changed direction to primarily explore the connection between the screen image and the performing arts, where conceptually, the medium of an actor is seen as but a part of the whole work, in the same way as dance, the text, the sound or the lighting.
Lionel Palun is co-founder of the association 720 Digital, member of 102, member of the committee of writing of the quarterly magazine Revue & Corrigée and was member during 5 years of the directorate of CitéDanse.

Professionally engaged in live shows since 2001, he has worked with the digital image in many different contexts:

Collaboration and Improvisation: The heart of the practice involves a series of collaborative duos (often improvised) which explore the possibilities of the relationships between the screen image and other performative/stage arts (Image/Dance, Image/Theatre, Image/Music, Image/Lighting, Video/Cinema…) The flexibility of the collaborative duos allows the combination of the demands of precise research with regular public outcomes. These explorations allow him to work with artists as diverse as Christophe Cardoen, Delphine Dolce, Dominique Lentin, Jérôme Noetinger, Nathalie Perrier, Riojim. This is what brings out the alchemy which informs the practice.

Video Performance: Video performance is used for residencies and in-situ creations. This permits both a starting point of writing (Company Yann Lheureux and Muriel Piqué at the CCN de Montpellier) as well as suggesting a unique form (Parcours Chorégraphique in the tradition of la Cie Pascoli ou Lumière obscure avec le Collectif Maki.)

Video Creations: Video creations for dance and theatre or collaborative concerts with different directors, choreographers, musicians and collectives (Broadway, Yann Lheureux, Pascal Mengelle, Cédric Marchal, Anne-Marie Pascoli, Muriel Piqué, Christophe Serpinet, Minou Wozniak, amongst others.) These video creations (with written scores or improvised) are occasions for combination with the writings of different artists.

Installations in the framework of the Collectif Brou Ha Ha (linked with La Fabrique à Andrézieux-Bouthéon) where between other original concepts of television ultra-locale which today also experiments in other frameworks (Association les Mauvaises Herbes, Mairie de Vif,...)

Studios and Educational Workshops: In addition to animation studios for children and adolescents (primary classes in Oullins, Social Centre of St Etienne) he provides digital works for the stage setting and captures screen images for the opera of Lyon, namely for the project Kaléidoscope.

Software Creation: In Videre Besides gaining a mastery of the professional tools of digital imagery and of multimedia through university training, which lead to the development of his own tools for the fabrication and diffusion of the image, the software, ‘In Videre’, which is at the same time a tool for reliable video production and an instrument of improvisation for video performance.
