L’Ososphère

“You will tell us… Like every incarnation of L’Ososphère, this edition is the result of the great polyphonic conversation that runs through its writing. A multilingual conversation in which the voices and words of artists, of our neighbors, of our relationships, and of our collaborations buzz and burst forth; a conversation that spills over into the public space, inviting us to imagine its future together. One need only listen to the works speaking to hear how much we undeniably need artists, as long as we continue to believe in the possibility of a shared construction of the city and the time we live in. They are necessary, in particular, to fertilize our reality, to shake us up, to move us, to expand our origins, to offer us fragilities that allow us to grasp the flow that relentlessly sweeps over our lives, to bring out elements of writing for a possible collective, or even common, narrative based on individual stories.” (Thierry Danet, director, on L’Osopshère 2022)

L’Ososphère is a Strasbourg-based festival bringing together electronic music and digital art for thirty years. We have been art directing the festival’s identity since 2010. This long lasting relationship has led to the production of numerous drawings of the various locations where the festival has taken place. We see this gesture both as a recording of a mutating city and its urban landscape, and as a manifestation of its multiple activations by the artists, the visitors, the residents.
