About chdh

Thanks to the use of mathematical algorithms and physical models, chdh brings a new vision of the use of data-processing tools in digital creation.

This project evokes a virtual world, made up with more or less autonomous abstract creatures. The aesthetics of the video and the sound is minimalist: sines, diracs and noises interact with lines, spheres and other primitive in a 3D black and white visual environment. The role of chdh during live performances is to play with the movement of these objects, in order to make them live and react. Two musicians handle the instruments by using an abstracted layer, software representation of the audio-visual object. Each algorithm then creates data used for the video synthesis and for the sound synthesis, creating a strong cohesion during the performance.

About ArtKillArt

Artkillart is a label based in Paris/Berlin, created in 2006. The label aims to promote experimental audiovisual and sound art. Artkillart invites artists to conceptualize, create and design an object, which explores the limitations of the support (dvd, cd and/or vinyle). Each object is designed following this reflection, as an experience for the artist and an experience for the audience. For the CIMATICS Festival in Brussels, Artkillart proposes a full lineup, composed with 5 performances in the field of real-time audiovisual and post-VJ live performances : chdh, laboiteblanche &Carl.Y (Audiotrace), RYBN (Monochrome), Vincent Epplay & Samon Takahashi, Yann Leguay & Jérôme Fino(Cutter Off). The whole night will be streamed through radiowne.org.Vivarium, the chdh dvd, will be released in october, with the support of arcadi,distributed by artkillart.
