Multiplica Lab – Works in Progress: AURA
by Minuit 47
Selected for a cross-border residency programme organised by Rotondes, the City of Metz, and Bliiida, with support from INTERREG IV Greater Region as part of the GRACE project, artist Amélie Samson and the Minuit 47 collective brought their tools over to Rotondes in December to work on their respective projects for two weeks. The artists are now ready to present Multiplica Lab visitors with a first iteration of their works before continuing their residency at Bliiida in Metz.
For one day only, the public is invited to experience Amélie Samson's installation Parasites, as well as the musical installation AURA – Accessible Unified Responsive Audio, developed by Minuit 47.
Visitors’ reactions, questions, and comments will provide the artists with food for thought for the remainder of the residency programme in Metz, up until the presentation of the advanced stages of each project at Bliiida on June 25, 2026.
Created for everyone, from people with disabilities and small children to families, educators and the general public, AURA focuses on the power of movement, physical expression, and co-creation.
Developed alongside the intended communities and supervised by researchers in cognition and technology, AURA. is used in cultural and healthcare settings through immersive workshops, public performances, and other forms of interactions. The system comes with documentation designed to help other organisations set it up and tailor it to their needs.
