As part of the inaugural evening of the Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques, from 07/11/24 to 19/01/25
Temps fort des arts et cultures numériques de la région Sud - created in 2018 and organized by CHRONIQUES.
Luciferine is a sound and light performance featuring bioluminescent bacteria in a sprawling glass sculpture.
It offers spectators an experience that gives them access to a collective sensory and aesthetic pleasure, a primitive pleasure: giving an assembly of humans the chance to see and hear microscopic marine organisms, close relatives of those at the origin of life on Earth.
At a time when terrestrial bioluminescence is becoming rarer with the massive decline of insects, Luciferine will be an opportunity to discover this bewitching phenomenon of the deep sea.

Thomas Laigle
Thomas Laigle is a sound and visual artist. His research lies at the crossroads of the performing, visual and digital arts. In the context of current technological advances, where virtuality and immateriality are intensifying, he proposes sensory experiences in a low-tech approach through a variety of media (audiovisual performance, installations, interactions with the living, sound composition). In his artistic practice, light and sound are interconnected to the point of forming a single medium. His concert-performances are presented in France and Europe. Since 2020, he has been creating plastic works that combine technology and living beings. Recently, in Berlin, he co-organized Soft Incident, a monthly event featuring body and sound performances.
