Apophenia refers to the human tendency to perceive connections between phenomena that are not necessarily related: hearing a voice in radio static, seeing a face in a cloud, or a sign in a flock of pigeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly ten years, the Apophenia<\/em> project has brought together birds, pigeon breeders, instrumentalists, neuroscientists and other participants around an experiment inspired by an old pigeon-keeping practice. To protect their pigeons from birds of prey, some pigeon breeders attach small whistles to their birds, producing sound as they fly. Using these whistles, tuned to a precise scale, Robin Meier Wiratunga composes an open score that explores sonic interactions between birds and musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film Apophenia (Dharavi)<\/em>, presented here for the first time, combines footage of an Apophenia<\/em> performance created in Mumbai in 2023 with a new sonic interpretation developed with the musicians of the Contrechamps ensemble in Geneva.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019apoph\u00e9nie d\u00e9signe la tendance humaine \u00e0 percevoir des connexions entre des ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes qui ne sont pas n\u00e9cessairement li\u00e9s: entendre une voix dans le bruit de la radio, voir un visage dans un nuage ou un signe dans une nu\u00e9e de pigeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depuis pr\u00e8s de dix ans, le projet Apophenia<\/em> r\u00e9unit des oiseaux, des \u00e9leveur\u00b7euses, des instrumentistes, des neuroscientifiques et d\u2019autres participant\u00b7es autour d\u2019une exp\u00e9rience inspir\u00e9e d\u2019une ancienne pratique de colombophilie. Afin de prot\u00e9ger leurs pigeons des rapaces, certain\u00b7es colombophiles leur attachent de petits sifflets qui produisent un son lorsque les oiseaux volent. \u00c0 partir de ces sifflets accord\u00e9s selon une gamme pr\u00e9cise, Robin Meier Wiratunga compose une partition ouverte qui explore les interactions sonores entre oiseaux et musicien\u00b7nes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le film Apophenia (Dharavi)<\/em>, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ici pour la premi\u00e8re fois, associe des images d\u2019une performance d\u2019Apophenia<\/em> cr\u00e9\u00e9e \u00e0 Mumbai en 2023 \u00e0 une nouvelle interpretation sonore imagin\u00e9e avec les musicien\u00b7nes de l\u2019ensemble Contrechamps \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
