Lost Records

Lost Records

Sometimes you don’t know that something has been lost — until it’s found again. How many brilliant lost, neglected and forgotten artists can there be? How many albums have been forgotten? How many have been lost? How many were rejected by labels because of political content, critical album artworks or band names? How many didn’t make it through a release and were eliminated or shelved for lack of success? How many dreams, hopes and statements were destroyed? We found 8 of these forgotten albums and worked on the record cover artworks, we tried to catch the mystical mood of these lost recordings, we tried to capture this forgotten music and tried to tell these incredible stories.

Jonathan Vögele – Siphonophores

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Jonathan Vögele – Siphonophores

by Jonathan Vögele

Siphonophores is an immersive experience in which two participants learn to share a single virtual body. The siphonophore, this marine animal that seems to be but a single gelatinous creature, is in fact a colony of organisms. We too, who believe ourselves separate, are already multiplicities and together we form bodies vaster still. Linked by a device that captures and synchronizes their movements, the participants feel their gestures seek one another out, meet, and at times work against each other. An arm rises without our quite knowing who willed it. How far can we feel ourselves extended, displaced, shared?

Andreas Abbaszadeh – KIN

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Andreas Abbaszadeh – KIN

by Andreas Abbaszadeh

Streaming made music infinite and weightless: access to everything, ownership of nothing. This dynamic frayed the bond between artists and the people who listen to them. KIN rematerializes listening. It's a portable player that holds only a handful of tracks, like a mixtape. Its magnetic connectors let two devices touch to exchange their music, hand to hand: sharing becomes a gesture between two people again. Built around scarcity and ritual; custom electronics, a translucent body, physical controls, a screen that reflects light rather than emitting it, KIN slows the circulation of music to give back its value and its human weight.

Pablo Perez – AudioSight

with Alain Bellet, Cyril Diagne, Cédric Duchêne, Christophe Guignard, Gaël Hugo

AudioSight is a musical game on smartphone that has  the specific feature of not using the screen. The game’s principle is based solely on the sound the user hears using headphones. The only interaction between the game and the player is the latter’s head movements. The theme of sound in space, both real and virtual, is a topic that fascinates me - especially in the current context of democratisation of virtual reality, where our sensory perception switches between the virtual world and reality.

Charlotte Waridel – Bloom

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Charlotte Waridel – Bloom

by Charlotte Waridel

Bloom is an interactive installation that delves into the opaque reality of nickel mining, a cornerstone of the energy transition. In 1975, biologist Alan Baker discovered, in an open-pit mine, a plant whose leaves contain nickel concentrations a thousand times higher than normal, Noccaea caerulescens. He published his findings, which went unnoticed. Today, the mining industry has taken an interest in these hyperaccumulator plants and is developing phytomining as an alternative to conventional extraction methods. Bloom explores the duality between scientific reality and a pro-industry narrative that presents it as tomorrow's green solution, navigating between the extraordinary adaptation of these plants to their environment and the mechanisms of greenwashing.
