Ionosphères
Joël Massey, FR, 40’
Joel Massey is electronic engineer by training, works as a projectionist, but produces also self-made cameras. He collects electrical and electronic equipment and gives them a second life through his installations which he harmoniously joins together. After having tested several installations and moving sculptures, he created "Ionosphères", his first stage appearance, using old professional and military short-wave radio receivers, a mixer connected to some rack effects to process the audio signal from the receptors, an oscilloscope with an old cathode tube, a mini colour camera and an analogue video effect mixer. On the screen he projects the images produced by electrical signals from the audio mixer.
