Immersive experience
Snowball offers a unique sensory experience, at the heart of a work of art, an immersive device integrating scientific, sound or musical hazards. It takes the form of a plastic installation in which a cellist evolves and interacts.

Cross-cutting project arts and sciences
The scientific research work at the heart of Snowball focuses on the interaction between sound and matter. He invents a technological device at the intersection of the work of the visual artist, the composer and the cellist, which allows music and the plastic work to interact. By activating this device, inspired by ultra-sound imaging, the musician gives intelligence to the work, bringing it to life.

Utopian or dystopic micro-cosmos
Like a snowball exploded on the ground and crossing different states, Snowball is an archipelago, where organic and mineral enter into a permanent dialogue. In this crossing, the myth of Atlantis serves as a reference. Snowball, an imaginary city, evokes a sunken and lost Eden, between utopia – that of a perfect world that perhaps remains to be invented, and dystopia – instantaneous of an imminent or barely occurring catastrophe.
