Ipso primero, Ipso Lotto

Beskrivelse

Ipso primero and Ipso Lotto lie at the intersection of two series of electroacoustic pieces, Lostery and in ipso tempore. If the piece is presented as part of the series Lostery, it can be either separately played in a concert or played in loop in the place in which the installation is shown. The title Lostery condenses the words "lost" and "Lottery". Thus it expresses a rather pessimistic state of mind in which what has been brought into play leads most of the time to failure. It accounts for the successive economic, social and political crises that we have been experiencing over many years and for the increasing inequality between people. The series Lostery questions two structural parameters which have a significant impact on our lives - on the one hand, the gearwheels of the societal machine in which we are immersed and which mostly conditions our destinies, and on the other hand, the notion of chance which plays a part in the path that we will or will not be able to follow. It divides individuals on the side of the more or less lucky or unlucky according to the socio-political and economic system of the country in which they were born, or to the family context they were brought up in (more or less favoured and equalitarian), their life in a country at peace or at war, the greater or lesser freedom of choice given to them, etc.
