Oalco
Oalco is an electro-botanical sound installation presented in 2022 on the occasion of the Mapping Festival and the Night of the Museum in the garden of the Museum of Art and History in Geneva, Switzerland.
Oalco is an electro-botanical sound art
sculpture in an immersive quadraphonic acoustic space.
The installation reproduces the electrical activity of the plant
to which it is connected as well as a part of
its environment thanks to various integrated sensors :
temperature
luminosity
humidity
Oalco is therefore an installation of botanical generative music
Oalco Live
Oalco is also a ritual that Xavier Gazon orchestrates in dialogue with the plant, the installation and various unique exotic instruments.
The rituals are listening meditations, sitting or lying down in a quadraphonic space with the artist at the center of the circle-square.
They are intended for small and medium sized gatherings, private or public.
