Gigacircus

Compagnie d’artistes voyageurs invitant à penser le monde autrement, Gigacircus entraîne le public à vivre ses œuvres comme des parcours-sensoriels. Croisement d’artistes polyvalents, Gigacircus relie les arts numériques à l’espace public ou naturel, tout en nourrissant une dynamique interculturelle sur des problématiques d’art anthropologique.

Installations vidéos, dispositifs numériques interactifs, installations Land Art, photographie, parcours sonores, performances, art action…

Les étapes de création relèvent de la mobilité : des sujets aux problématiques traitées (migration, nomadisme..) jusqu’aux dispositifs de diffusion utilisant des technologies légères et transportables.

Au plan humain et culturel, ces dispositifs se fondent sur le dialogue, la rencontre, la fusion d’énergie créatrice, la transdisciplinarité et le voyage (Mexique, Mongolie, Kirgizstan, Burkina Faso, USA, Canada…)

Les artistes au coeur du collectif Gigacircus sont: Sylvie Marchand, Lionel Camburet, Jacques Bigot, Fred Adam et Lelio Moehr.

Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) is an artistic cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe, starting in January 2024 for four years. With seven partners from five countries, WALC establishes an International Center for Artistic Research and Practice of Walking Arts, in Prespa, Greece, at the border with Albania and North Macedonia, backed up by an online counterpart in the format of a digital platform for walking arts.

WALC builds on the previous work of hundreds of artists and researchers already practicing Walking Arts as a collaborative medium, and having met at the significant previous walking arts events and encounters in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and during online activities at walk · listen · create.

We acknowledge the support of the EU Creative Europe Cooperation grant program in the framework of the European project WALC (Walking Arts and Local Community).

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
