about

“The Rainbow Machine” is an immersive installation with both sound & moving images. It was born from the electro-acousmatic piece composed by Paul Behnam, with the similar name, translated in French : “La Machine Arc-en-ciel”.
At the beginning of the project drafting, Behnam started a collaboration with the painter Alexandre Tanqueray who then created a series of graphic works based on the sound composition.
This series was later on adapted and fused within another audio-visual form, closer to an animation film.

The Rainbow Machine is a journey towards the colourful skies, onboard an imaginary flying vehicle.
The rainbow colours symbolise emotions
and traits of humankind. The different archetypes one can face within a life.
The Machine embodies the desire for power, society and the madness it can generate.
 
An endless ascension until the machine finally returns to the depths of sea : a well needed calm down phase that we will have to reach as a civilisation in order to humbly realise the state of the world
we live in.
