Amsterdam, Netherlands

A new installation by artist Vincent de Belleval and electronic producer Nicolás Jaar was presented for the very first time during ADE, including some exclusive live performances by the duo itself and invited guests. Retaining the Energy, but Losing the Image (2019) consisted of ten rotating parabolas: reflectors that capture and emit sound and light. They created an ever-changing environment of interlinked reflections and feedback chains. The title alludes to light and sound diffusion, signifying how the energy of the sound and light is kept in its reflections but not in its source. Due to their parabolic shape, the reflectors can also focus sound in specific positions, creating hallucinatory surrounding fields. The live performances were guided by the natural nightfall at museum Het Hem.
