WORK IN PROGRESS
EA+THE BOARD 3.0
Responsive touch, audio and video platform.
Evolution of the Board 2.1
Since the beginning of the Electro-Acrylic project, the canvas has been at the heart of the concept. He is responsive. He captures pictorial impulses and retransmits them into sounds.
Over the years, this canvas has evolved into a real console full of sensors. Here it is in its third evolution: the “board 3.0”
The canvas has become an audio-video sensor-controller.
The entire subsurface of the canvas is receptive to the slightest passage of charcoal, brush or trowel. In doing so, all interventions on the canvas can be translated into sounds and images. Three-dimensional responsiveness This new “board” reacts three-dimensionally. This allows a multitude of combinations of modes of use. It thus offers the three artists spectacular creative possibilities.
It is above all its third dimension, the velocity of pressure on the canvas, allowing you to play as much on the volume or color of the sound as on the 3D of the image, which offers new possibilities for performance in real time.
Sound design
Part of the data generated is recovered by the sound designer who modulates it, transforms it and organizes it into sequences in order to form a background soundtrack which will in turn serve as a virtual canvas to create a musical work.
Visual design
The other part of the data is translated by the visual designer into shapes, movements, colors and three-dimensional velocity.
Feedback
In reciprocity, the musical composition will directly influence the pictorial and visual composition. A sort of retroactive feedback effect is then created. We no longer know who influences who. The three works are built in relation to each other to form one during the performance.

Translating painting into data
by Marlène Grégoire
My challenge is to understand everyone's needs. How do you convert the analog signal into a digital signal to create an even more advanced work? This research and development is unique, because this project is unique.
I have to create a specific code and procedure so that the technology is at the service of creation in the most fluid and transparent way possible. I have to create a dedicated “plugin” for direct integration into the audio station software. It will be custom-made. So there is a multitude of prototyping and testing to be done to refine the 3.0 system.
This digital aspect will bring a new dimension and dynamic as well as a large number of creative possibilities thanks to a higher level of interactivity between the painter and his companions.
