Poetry in virtual reality
Interactive immersive environment
By weaving imaginaries in the mode of biomimicry, Nh-9 is an immersive poetry experience that attempts to develop notions of interrelationships as guiding links to build scenes of symbiotic relationships between humans and non-humans. humans The aim of this project is to allow to be immersed in a state of sensory modifications (and/or mutations) in order to construct interconnected landscapes by imagining a living world – made up of beings and the relationships between these beings.

Synopsis
Landscapes of interrelations
The atmosphere, lunar and foggy, is studded with fireflies.
These fireflies are extremely mobile, at the limit of the visible. Evanescent, almost below the picture – a multitude of evanescent and multi-shaped beings expanding to create a sort of fully moving space of unpredictable becoming.
These beings-elements are interchangeable, declinable and modifiable to infinity. Each of these beings is a mobile, permeable and interchangeable unit: a part of the whole, the whole, the other part and the reverse. Mutate/Regenerate
The challenge of Nh-9 is to allow oneself to be immersed in a state of sensory modifications (and/or mutations) to build landscapes of interrelationships by imagining a living world – made up of beings and the relationships between its beings.

• Sandrine Deumier (FR). Author, video artist and performer. MA in Philosophy, 2000. DNAP, National Institute of Fine Arts (Tarbes, France) 2004. Sandrine Deumier is a pluridisciplinary artist working in the field of performance, poetry, and video art whose work investigates post-futurist themes through the development of aesthetic forms related to digital imaginaries. With her dual philosophical and artistic training, she has constructed a multifaceted poetic style focused on the issue of technological change and the performative place of poetry conceived through new technologies. Using material from the word as image and the image as word vector, she also works at the junction of video and sound poetry, considering them as sensitive devices to express a form of unconscious material itself. The process of writing and the mobile material of the image function as underlying meanings of reflux which refer to her real installations and audiovisual performances in collaboration with composers. http://sandrinedeumier.com
