The work of Christoph De Boeck concerns installations or performances in which acoustic energy is divided over spaces and objects. The meaning of the work is defined as much by this distribution of energy as it is by the composition or sound content itself.
In 2007 he creates a circle of mansized steel sheets which enclose audience and musicians. Transducers turn these steel plates into vibrating membranes functioning as loudspeakers. The installation responds to the presence and proximity of visitors. For the evening concert performance De Boeck aka Audiostore and Yves De Mey aka Eavesdropper wrote a score for 12 steel plates.
Christoph De Boeck is co-artistic director of Deepblue, an interdisciplinary production structure based in Brussels, founded and directed by himself with choreographers Heine R. Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki.
He also collaborated with Eric Joris/CREW, Patricia Portela and Lawrence Malstaf.
The name deepblue refers to an immense microcosm as well as to that supercomputer which for the first time won a match from a human in an intellectual game. deepblue aims at balancing human and technological forms of communication. In all productions traces are left of this destroyed opposition between what is organic and what is artificial.
Spatiality, information processing and replication are returning themes in the output of the three individual artists and in their collaborative work. Video, sound, light and distribution of space are equal elements in the development of creations, just as dancers, performers and audience are.
