CSL researcher Atau Tanaka has been bridging the gap between artistic practice and scientific and technological developments for many years. His original creative work and performance practice focused on music steered by body sensors. More recently he has been exploring various networked technologies in order to orchestrate dynamic music creation by social groups. The piece NetDérive produced for the present exhibition is the result of a dialogue with Sydney-based artist Petra Gemeinboeck and is another clear instance of the process-oriented view that is associated with the notion of Intensive Science. Their work sets up social interactions, supported by mobile phones and internet technologies, within a loose network of people that are exploring a city, in this particular case the urban environment around the exhibition space near the Bastille in Paris. From the paths they take and the experiences they have, a collective narrative emerges which is fed back through audiovisual means to each participant and thus shapes their evolving experience. Tanaka and Gemeinboeck thus attempt to create a new kind of space at the interstices of existing spaces, a space that is fluid and transversal. All of this is not possible without the most up-to-date technologies: wireless internet, advanced mobile phones, real-time sound synthesis, location positioning, etc., but they are hidden and not the key point of the piece.
