Antoine Schmitt Venus #1 likes to dance on music. She prefers jazz, classical or electro. Play her a CD... With her very peculiar listening, Venus#1makes us hear the music differently.Insert a CD in your computer and start it. In the meantime, she wanders... Venus #1 is one of the variations of my works on artificial beings. I first created Venus #1 so that she could dance live during a concert in 1998. I wanted a creature with a real body, which internal states and forces would be directly influenced by the music. The influence between the music and the image happens at a deep physical level: the simulated muscles of Venus #1 are triggered by physical dynamic properties of the live sound. Venus #1 belongs to the realm of what I call the aesthetic of the cause : it is the cause of what we perceive that creates the aesthetic sensation.
