Pornocracy
“It is therefore possible to consider with confidence the reason why action is exerted not only on nearby objects, but also on objects that are far away in terms of perception: it is in fact (…) thanks to the community of the universal mind, which is all in the whole as well as in any part.” – Giordano Bruno
No bullshit, no fadism, no sexploitation, no void, black light.
Gauthier Keyaerts
Gauthier Keyaerts holds a Bachelor’s degree in Information and Communication. He has kept from his university years a taste for sciences dedicated to the human being: semiology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy… So many disciplines able to provide a perception of listening to oneself, to the other, to the others, to society in general. These questions are intertwined with his sound research (DJ set, sound art, hörspiel created in real time,…) that he originally practiced on a university radio.
Through these diverse and eclectic work tracks, emerges the obsessive character for sound loops (environmental sounds, samples, voices, sound design,…), basic color for the creation of his electronic musical paintings (musical narratives), as well as a constant research for the setting in sound of space and objects, without forgetting a certain interest for the new narrative forms (in particular with his various installations (L’oeil Sampler, an-Art-Key. .), the interactive device Fragments #43-44) and Sauvés du Vent / Boo Forever, a tribute to the American writer Richard Brautigan.

Raphaël Maze
Raphaël Maze’s work is part of a dreamlike representation of chaos. The images, captured during travels, metamorphose into signs, lines and graphic constructions whose crackling succession further intensifies the poetic charge. His constant back and forth between internal organics and urban politics is magnified by a montage close to structural cinema that treats the black and white of the different formats (HD, Super 8) according to a frenetic rhythm.
The visual pulsations, the real pulsating heart of his films, are the anchor or counterpoint of the soundtracks produced, since 2007, by musicians keen on experimentation: Emmanuel Lalande, Nozal Cube, Jacques Brodier, Id m theft able, Olivier Labbé, Jean Philippe Gomez, François Buffet, Bruce Mc Clure, Guillaume Gargaud & François Lebègue, Speet Silex, Michel Titin-Schnaider, Sophie Agnel & Olivier Benoît, Duo Audinet Marty, Ben Miller, Laurent Dolcino, Baké-Baké! Jean-Luc Guionnet, Annabelle Playe.
Stephan Ink
Stephan Ink is a French sound artist, producer and sound engineer living in Belgium. Since the early 90’s, he has released experimental music albums in England (Some Bizarre), France (DSA – Infrastition), Germany (Hyperium) … under the names Vicious Circle, View, Elephant Leaf.
He has collaborated with Youssou N’Dour, Keith Rowe, Aki Onda, Damo Suzuki, Radu Malfatti …
He regularly participates in seminars and training courses to share his passion for sound and listening (ENSA Paris-Val de Seine, HELB, IATA, RTA …)
He is looking for collaborations which solicit him on unknown territories. His practice of performative improvisation leads him to the world of contemporary visual arts within which he proposes sound jousts with poetry, video, pictorial performances and photography. He is co-creator of the multidisciplinary show, in homage to the writer Richard Brautigan, Boo, Forever. Currently he plays with Ordinaire (sound poetry duo), Maboroshi (improvised music duo), Obi (sound poetry duo). He works with the collective Dessin Envolé since its creation and develops a singular sound universe where sound, music, drawing, dance, acrobatics participate in the enchantment.
