TIME RIFT ODYSSEY – une faille aux confins des mondes possibles Par les étudiants d’Arts Numériques d'ARTS² et leurs professeurs Martin Waroux et Cédric Sabato
TIME RIFT ODYSSEY is a 360° immersive mapping project designed by students from the Digital Arts and M.A.I. (Interactive Applied Music) programs at the ARTS² Higher School of Arts in Mons. This immersive experience takes the audience on a journey through space-time rifts, unveiling alternative possibilities for our reality. Each passage opens up a utopian dimension where reality itself is reshaped.
Through immersive visual projections and spatialized sound, TIME RIFT ODYSSEY transforms the space to reveal ever-changing universes and unexpected realities. This artistic and sensory journey leads spectators into unexplored possibilities, blending science fiction with an examination of the conditions of life at the edges of reality. It questions our relationship with time, nature, and the unprecedented paths humanity could take.

SOUND UNIVERSE
The sound universe of Time Rift Odyssey plays a central role in fully immersing spectators. Using a quadraphonic sound system, this installation offers spatialized 360° sound, wrapping the audience in dynamic, immersive soundscapes. Created in collaboration with the M.A.I. (Interactive Applied Music) program at ARTS² Mons, this acoustic environment enhances the visual experience and transports spectators through unexpected dimensions.
SONIC FUSION
- Between Reality and Imagination: A combination of natural and abstract sounds, balancing the familiar with the fantastical.
- Exploring Possible Worlds: A sound design approach that invites discovery of new realities and improbable environments.
SPATIALIZATION
- 360° Spatialized Quadraphonic Sound: A sound system that projects spectators into an ever-evolving auditory space.
- Dynamic Immersion: Sounds move and shift through space, synchronized with the visual transformations to amplify the impact of the space-time rifts.
TEXTURES AND ATMOSPHERES
- Hybrid Textures: A fusion of real-world recordings and digital creations to represent transformative universes.
- Concrete Music: Techniques borrowed from musique concrète to craft unique atmospheres, blending reality with abstraction.
MENTAL IMAGES
- Awakening the Imagination: Each soundscape is designed to stimulate mental imagery, allowing each spectator to interpret and feel the explored universes in a personal way.
- Collective Experience: Though individually experienced, this sound immersion creates a collective connection among spectators, sharing a journey through multiple realities.
The sound universe of Time Rift Odyssey acts as a true sensory portal, amplifying the impact of visual projections and plunging spectators into the heart of reshaped worlds and alternate realities.
