matter under maintenance is an immersive audiovisual performance that explores the relationship between the artist and the digital in real-time. At the heart of the project is an innovative digital instrument built using the 3D rendering engine Unreal Engine, which amplifies the interaction between human gesture and the virtual world.



Designed for immersive spaces such as the Satosphère in Montreal, the project highlights a striking scale relationship between the performer and a giant virtual hand. This unique dynamic brings the artist closer to the moment of creation, transforming the experience into a spontaneous, improvisational dialogue with the audience. With the use of motion capture gloves, the gesture becomes a tool for immediate creation, enhancing immersion and connection between the performer, the virtual, and the spectators.
