Manuel Chantre is an internationally renowned digital artist. His performances and immersive installations combine music, programming, video, audio art, light and interactivity. His latest projects have focused on video projections and lighting techniques that create narrative “choreographies” conceived for three-dimensional audio-visual devices.
With Double, Chantre explores the concept of duplicity in order to create a transformative space: a structure in constant transition toward its own duplication forms itself, aided by scattered, broken and partial edges that criss-cross and assemble themselves.
