“What I try to do in my projects is not sound or visual, it is audiovisual”: Alex Augier

The French artist Alex Augier presented _nybble_ within the framework of ISEA2017 – 16th International Image Festival. This soundscape is a commitment to audiovisual production, since its interest is to find that both light and sound complement each other.

During the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017, we were able to speak with a representative of Polar Inertia, a multidisciplinary group from the French underground techno scene. Within the framework of the Colombia-France Year, Polar Inertia opened Nuits Sonores Colombia in Manizales with a concert on Friday, June 16. We asked him about the history of this mysterious group and his experience in Colombia. Good morning Polar Inertia, welcome to the International Image Festival – ISEA2017. Good morning.

I played music with a friend and we were looking for a musical identity and some concepts.
