RAVE SÉANCE is a live-installation and performance. Up to 12 people at a time can sit at small tables that enables them to interact with the performance. The project creates an audiovisual environment that fuses aspects of Rave culture and esoteric séances. By combining aspects of techno music with pseudo spiritistic practices, it thematizes the coupling of scientific discovery and magic. A odd couple which has existed since discoveries in the field of electricity have entered popular culture in the 18th Century.
