Maria Komarova is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice can be situated on the borders of new theatre, scenography, sound art and installation. She is interested in creating spatial settings that call the spectator to be more attentive and playful toward everydayness. Her works give new frames to objects by technically repurposing them and emphasizing their sonic and visual potential. Maria is one of founders of art collective PYL, Festival Performensk. She is currently based between Belgium and Prague.

555 bugs is a site-specific installation that transforms the stairs of Cinex into a habitat of fragile sonic creatures. In it, found objects and custom electronic devices are assembled into a landscape where elementary materials find new meanings in spontaneous connections. They interact, move, resonate, talk to each other and to their listeners, bringing them into a world of menthol buzzers, one-eye sirens, lemon tadpoles, ginger tigers, plastic bugs and other insects.

Born in La Louvière, Maxime Van Roy moved at a very young age to the Nice region in the south-east of France. After obtaining a degree in Communication, he decided to go back to art school in his home region at Arts2 in Mons. After graduating with a Master&#8217;s degree in &#8220;Image in the Environment&#8221;, he is now an assistant in his former school and provides individual technical support to students. 
During his last year of study, the installation Sibilation won the &#8220;Prix Tremplin du Ministre/Président de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles&#8221; in 2020.

Caption: Belgian limestone, corrugated PVC tubes, DC 12v motors. 
Intention: A regular flow of air &#8211; produced by the rotation of PVC tubes &#8211; over the asperities of the opening of small cavities, generates turbulences that the resonance transforms into harmonic standing waves. Melodious whistles &#8211; caused by the wavelength allowed by each tube &#8211; implement this sound principle which can be generated both naturally and artificially.

Hybrid artist based in Brussels, Laurie-Anne graduated from ESA Aix-en-Provence after studying 
Anthropology. In January 2021 in Marseille she is accompanied by Dos Mares and Aplombs for a first 
personal exhibition at the Ateliers Vian. On the strength of these experiences and funded by the South 
Region, she started a residency at the Werktank Factory in September 2021 which gave birth to the 
Lumitérale. 
In her career she has participated in numerous collective exhibitions such as &#8220;GHOST DANCE&#8221;, at 
Château La Coste 2021 or more recently,&#8221;Out Of Orbit&#8221; (&#8220;Bang! Fringe&#8221;) as well as at &#8220;(UN) Common 
Ground&#8221; at iMAL in May 2022.

This experiential installation explores different states of sound and visual materialities. Hybridizing 
light animation, sound mutation and textile construction, La Lumitérale offers the experience of a fine breach, of a frontier space between real and virtual, between abstraction and figuration.
La Lumitérale revolves around a symbiosis of image and sound. By playing with the idea of ever- 
complicating sound loops allied to luminous creatures that emerge and unfold, the experience becomes hypnotic and sensitive. The notion of time evaporates. 
Through the combination of the movement of animations integrated into the atmosphere, this work 
explores the experience of trouble, of doubt by immersing us inside an experimental fable.
