Bricolage Architecture (2024)

Audiovisual performance for modular synthesis and stop-motion animation.

Bricolage Architecture shows hand-crafted images that imitate computer-generated geometry and voice-driven music that resembles electronic synthesis. Every imperfection or failure induced in the process highlight the human vulnerability hiding underneath. In this era marked by the advent of artificial intelligence, Bricolage Architecture questions the position of the imperfect human body in our world of technological perfection.

« Performing as SEULEMENT, Montreal producer and musician Mathieu A. Seulement may have brought one of the most visually straightforward sets to MUTEK, but it’s one we can’t get out of our minds. Named Bricolage Architecture, the show utilised a healthy dose of strobed images – mostly black and white shapes – alongside modular synth swells, bleeps, bloops, and experimental sonic constructions. The off-kilter rhythms and off-beat drops were a challenging start for the Nocturne crowd, and just when the tracks seemed to become a bit more repetitive or danceable, SEULEMENT would twist them into something surreal, much like the mutating squares and cross sections on the screens. » - Crack Magazine UK -
