FOLLA VAN TÈS
Philippe FONTES / Serge VALLA
Local time

An audio-visual performance by the video and electronics artists of the FOLLA VAN TES duo, Philippe FONTES and Serge VALLA, using Google Street View.

“A fascinating and intoxicating avalanche of photographic balls combine to create a representation of the surface of the world with a swarming, saturated & noisy aesthetic, where continuous time and permanent sound, abrasive at times, give cinematographic life to this walk through the false reality offered by Google Street View.

It’s a captivating ballad-walk of electronics_bruitist injunctions and accents, fomenting a dense, even distressing, weave of the Google Street View world, where our own memories and impressions, whether imaginary or filled with a strange sense of ‘déjà vu’, are echoed in spite of ourselves and at an accelerating rate.”
