    Acoustic and visual Micro-con­fer­ence on the fluid dynamics fol­lowed by an electro DJ Set

    For World Music Day, Bétonsalon invites you to dis­cover a sci­en­tific expe­ri­ence com­bining physics and music. On a live musical set bring to us by a duo of DJs, the “Soap Opera”, sci­en­tific expe­ri­ence ini­ti­ated by Florence Elias, physi­cian spe­cial­ized on the com­plex fluid mechanics and teacher at Paris Diderot University, will be per­formed for the first time on an Electro-Techno rhythm.

    At the request of Bétonsalon, the physi­cian wil reveal a fas­ci­nating and hyp­notic dynamic of a soap film set in motion by the vibra­tion of sound waves.

    Soap Film Opera : The dance of soap films
    ‘’Blow con­tin­u­ously on a soap film: a bubble swells, detaches, flies away and is cov­ering itself with iri­des­cence in the sun­light. But if the breath oscil­lates, as if pro­duced by a sound wave, the soap film begins to vibrate like the mem­brane of a drum.’’

    GUESTS
    Florence Elias physi­cian spe­cial­ized on the com­plex fluid mechanics and teacher at Paris Diderot University and Robin Lambert et Dylan Rousseau duo of young parisian DJs.

    The Speedating: fast and uncon­ven­tional meet­ings open to everyone.

    Inside and around the cur­rent exhi­bi­tion of Jean-Charles de Quillacq: Ma sys­tème repro­duc­tive, nearby stake­holder of Bétonsalon are invited to talk about a book, a child­hood smell, a short story, another artist… why not fan­cying your­self of being a art critic for an hour or two?

    Badge-holding par­tic­i­pants will be “ac­ti­vat­a­bles” by the vis­i­tors for 7 min­utes of dis­cus­sion before switching. The acti­va­tion will allow a con­ver­sa­tion where the topic will have a close or dis­tant link with the exhi­bi­tion. No need to be an expert on con­tem­po­rary art, our guests are not all insiders. The Speedating is mainly the oppor­tu­nity for people – with dif­ferent fields of researches or inter­ests – to share and talk for a little while.
