# *Lutherie numérique* & interactivity ## Research based practice on crafting interactive audiovisual experiences. ### Guillaume Arseneault laureando *Recherche-création en média expérimental* UQAM ![banner_a.png](banner_a.png)
## Lutherie Related to the process of crafting string instruments ![DiderotLutherie](DiderotLutherieCrop.jpg) Lutherie [from Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des metiers / Denis Diderot]
## *Numérique* / Numeric Representation through a number system, often related to computerized operations. ![numerique](numerique.png)
## Lutherie numérique > forme d'expression dont le "médium" est constitué par les relations réciproques qui s'établissent entre le propos artistique et son implémentation technologique. Burton, Alexandre. 2000. « Lutherie Numérique .» In . Montréal : Festival du nouveau cinéma. : expressive form emerging from the reciprocal relations between artistic intents and his technological implementations - The act of choosing the components for a purpose, getting them to work together and making the instrument expressive. - Where a computer and programmation is injected between the instrument and the performance output - The importance of real-time is critical to get physicality of the instrument
## Research based practice & experimental media * #### Iterative’s cycles of prototyping and demonstrations * #### Artistic process feed from heuristic feedback * #### Reflective praxis Authors : * Owen Chapman & Kim Sawchuk : “Research-Creation: Intervention, Analysis and Family Resemblances.’” * Louis Claude Paquin : "Méthodologie de la recherche-création" * Pierre Gosselin, Éric Le Coguiec : " La recherche création : Pour une compréhension de la recherche en pratique artistique "
## Analog Pioneers * [Luigi Russolo] 1885–1947 * Intonarumori (Mechanical sound automates) * [Leon Theremine] 1896-1993 * invented the *Theremine* * [Maurice Martenot] 1898-1980 * invented the *ondes Martenot* * [Robert Moog] May 1934-2005 * known for his work on the analogue synthesizer ![pioneers](pionneers.jpg)

## Motivations * Generate novel experiences modified by the user engagements * Create interfaces-instruments with expressive range accessible * Deploy interactive installations in public spaces * Share and document this process among the Makers community (open source) * Contribute to democratize technological creations trought low cost hardware
