La Danse des Fous

oachim Montessuis is a French artist who has been working since 1993 on the connections between sound-poetry and "immersive concerts-installation". The noise and video events are devised and set in context as panic-poetic spaces in which social/sensorial disturbance and blurring occur, through some extreme crescendos going from silence to wall of sound. He has worked in major European electronic arts centers (CICV, Fresnoy, V2_Lab, KHM) and has presented live performances and installations around the world including places and festivals such as DEAF in Rotterdam, ISEA, ICA in London, Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, Sónar in Barcelona, Africa Center in South Africa and Rio de Janeiro, etc.
　　He's the editor of ERRATUM since 1997, a CD+net label devoted to ART/NOISE/POETRY, and he punctually organises experimental poetic events and exhibitions. He has collaborated with such artists as David Larcher, Charlemagne Palestine, Faustin Linyekula, Serge Pey, Henri Chopin, Joel Hubaut, J?rg Piringer, Franck Ancel.
