Bio
Bajo la etiqueta de Cod.Act, André y Michel Décosterd combinar sus conocimientos técnicos. El primero es un artista plástico, músico y compositor, el segundo es arquitecto y artista plástico. Juntos desarrollan producciones artísticas como performances e instalaciones interactivas. La base de su trabajo es una reflexión sobre el sonido, la imagen y la luz y su posible interacción.
Desde 1999, Cod.Act crea dispositivos complejos y funcionales, que evocan el universo industrial, los cuales son el centro de su producción pero no la finalidad ya que no terminan de estar completos hasta que interactúan con el público o con los performers.

ENG /
Under the label Cod.Act, André and Michel Décosterd combine their know-how. The first is a musician, composer and sound plastician, the second is an architect and plastician. Together they develop artistic productions such as performances and interactive installations. The basis of their approach is a reflection on sound and mouvement and their possible interaction.
Since 1999, the two plasticians produce complex devices, lean and functional, which evoque the industrial universe. Imprinted with rationality, even radical in nature, their devices are at the core of their production but are not its finality. Indeed, the work intended is musical and is stored in encoded form in the device. Latent, it reveals itself to the public when the device is operated, either by the public in the case of interactive installations, or by the artists in the case of performances.
