LASER Paris takes place in French *Programme* > *Victoria Vesna* (Artist and Professor at the UCLA Department of Design Media Arts and Director of the Art|Sci Center at the School of the Arts and California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) // * "A Roaring World"* about the project *Noise Aquarium* Polluted by plastic but also by sound: far from being the "world of silence", the subaquatic environment is a world of din and roaring. The interactive installation *Noise Aquarium* shows elements of plancton and our impact on those micro-organisms that provide us with half of the air we need to live. (Victoria Vesna presentation is in English with French translation). > *Aline Penitot* (Electroacoustic composer and radio documentarist) and *Olivier Adam* (Bioacoustic specialist, Professor-Researcher at Neurosciences Institute of Paris Saclay CNRS - University Paris Sud and Sorbonne University) // * "Do humpback whales play bassoon?"* about the project *Interactions férales. Le chant des baleines à bosse* (project supported by La Diagonale Paris-Saclay) If, instead of recording the cetaceans and analyzing their songs as scientists usually do, if instead of creating music inspired by the whales songs as some composers have done, we were trying to interact with them through sounds played into the ocean? This is what the composer Aline Penitot and the scientist Olivier Adam are together exploring using a digital interface and their discovery of astonishing timbre relations between the humpback whales songs and the sound of the bassoon. Will the ocean remain the world biggest musical stage or are we going to saturate it with our wastes, physical and acoustic, until we can no longer hear it whisper? > Moderation : Annick Bureaud > During the break : Audience announcements > Drinks and snacks after the presentations LASER Paris is co-organized by *Leonardo/Olats *(www.olats.org and *La Diagonale Paris-Saclay *(http://www.ladiagonale-paris-saclay.fr) in collaboration with the hosting venues, for June 13th 2019 *Ground Control *( https://www.groundcontrolparis.com/) LASER Paris is supported by the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation.
