Presenter
Simon Morris (US / FR) is a new media artist who works with interactive instruments and new interfaces. His project Musique Concrete is an interactive performance piece which explores urban landscapes, skateboarding and sound. Mounted underneath the skateboard is a wireless device and sensors which enable the rider to modify sounds in realtime. The movements of the skateboarder determines the soundtrack of the city. The result is a musical composition which transforms the skateboarder into a composer. Investigating new forms of musical expression, Musique Concrete examines technology and its role as a socially engaged art practice. Simon has conducted live performances at Eyebeam, NYC, the Article Biennale 2006 in Stavanger, Norway, Lemurplex in NYC and the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, Finland.
