New digital art & music: Centaure at The Lowry

French electronic musician Franck Vigroux and audiovisual artist Kurt d’Haeseleer bring a daring new digital performance to The Lowry. This one-off appearance in Salford features the pair creating continually morphing music against abstract industrial images. Centaure suggests cloned creatures, species mutation and a post-human dystopia: humankind has disappeared, and nature has become an all-pervading technology. Vigroux and d’Haeseleer are not often seen outside the arts festival scene, with their most notable performance being at MUTEK in Montreal, the international festival of digital creativity and electronic music. Their visit to The Lowry is part of the same digital strand that included the immersive Marshmallow Laser Feast laser show Iris, earlier this year. For maximum visual impact, Centaure takes place in the colossal Quays Theatre. Find out more from Vigroux and d’Haeseleer in Eliptik Magazine.
