Mémoire de l’air is a project run by the Antenne Italique collective, which brings together three artist-researchers, Justine François, Lucie Laluque and Juliette Thomas, to work on a research-creation project that unfolds through meetings, programming of works and workshops that bring together audiences, artists (performers, choreographers, video-makers, musicians) and social science researchers.

In the continuity of their respective research and artistic practices around the Modified States of Consciousness, they are interested in the attention regimes through which we think, imagine, learn and act in our era marked by informational hyperstimulation, which some researchers, including Yves Citton, have called the ’economy of attention’. Mémoire de l’air is an investigation into the ways in which we pay attention, from zapping distraction to methodical concentration.
What determines these modes of attention? How do they manifest themselves? How do their combinations translate into artistic language?

They tackle this subject through programming and meetings between artists and researchers, as well as workshops in social institutions.

This multidisciplinary project is supported by the ASBL Coupé Décalé.
