Creation and recording residency.
La structure des voix is a sound and visual work that explores the idea of the rupture between the human voice and the body in the age of recording and voice synthesis. In this creation, several everyday manifestations of the voice are explored in turn. Whether organic, amplified or artificial, the voices of service providers and voice assistants build an evocative portrait of our contemporary relationship with orality.
Envisaged as an installation, the project transforms repetitive sound messages into free poetry, where injunctions become a disobedient, musical flow. Thanks to a system of rotating loudspeakers, the broadcasting space becomes the place where the voices express themselves, playing on their transience within the architecture.

Lundja Medjoub
Sound artist and composer
Lundja Medjoub, born in 1992, is a sound artist and electroacoustic composer. Initially trained in design at the École supérieure d'art et design de Saint-Étienne, she went on to deepen her work on sound at ESAD TALM Le Mans and Ircam.
Based on an attentive listening to territories, architectures and human encounters, she creates works that question the way sound transforms our perception of everyday life. By capturing the sounds of materials and spaces using microphones, she creates sound spaces that come to life in installations or performances, inviting audiences to rethink their sensitive relationship to the soundscape.
With this in mind, she collaborates with other artists and writers (Joséfa Ntjam, Audrey Perzo, Rafi Martin, Deicy Sanches, Penda Diouf) on installations, films and performances in France and abroad (Centre Pompidou in Paris, CAC la traverse in Alforville, Theatre du Nord in Lille, Festival Imaginale in Stuttgart, Festival Seul en scène in Princeton).
