ASTRAGALE ZENON L'ARPENTEUR - Live in Musée des Beaux-arts de Pau from Arno Fabre on Vimeo.

Rather than developing complex multichannel arrangements for simulating sound movements, I wondered, «What if the speaker could move…?»

The project is simple: invent a robot, teach it to see, move and react with a temperament, fix a speaker to the robot, compose a sound recording playing on the speaker, multiply by six, and let the whole team loose into the crowd. Each robot is unique, each one has its identity and 'personality'. One likes to travel fast in a straight line, another prefers to stay next to the walls, and a third

insists on drawing lemniscates. However, all of them are reminiscent of Zeno of Elea, the walking philosopher, for whom walking is tactical and movement impossible. While they attract the listener's attention, the listener is also dissuaded from heeding the spoken words and is swept along into the motion. Each movement personality corresponds to a related topic:

Hésitations; Les Poissons; Topographie Agricole; What can I do?; Le Paradoxe de l'Astragale et Harmonie du mouvement. From these choreographed wanderings emerges a remarkable cacophony, in the style of our thoughts, heterogeneous and roaming.
