Little by little, the laboratory was equipped out of various materials of creations: projectors slides and super 8, old adulterated radios, systems of mixings and sound amplifications, tape recorders worn metal parts of various sizes, tubes, traps with sounds, percussions in all kinds, apron of piano broken and réamplifié exotic and acoustic instruments, toys, synthetizers black lights, balls multifacettes, mirrors, sculptures sound drink some, masks, skeletons and craniums of animals.

Since September 1996, 1 Ka carried out many concerts in Toulouse, Rodez, Clermont Ferrand, in Gers (Auch), in the Pyrenees, in Marseilles, Arles, Ariège, like in Weimar and Berlin. The concerts are single according to the place and of the speakers. The duration of the performances, installations and concerts lies between fifteen hour and fifteen minutes.
The number of members of the collective is variable; it includes/understands in particular Kolett, Marco, X-ray, Bambi, Loren, Edwood, Olivier, Yorga and of the speakers.

Videotex

Videobeat and other titles included: The LIMITS OF OPTICS, ALL-out WAR, The DAY OR The FILES HAVE EXPLODE, The GREAT ADVENTURE OF The TRESORS OF The WORLD, The TIME OF The LEISURES, THEN SUDDENLY A GREAT VACUUM ON The BURNING COUNTRYSIDE, A CREATURE HABITEE BY The WORLD, ARTICULATIONS, The MYTH OF The ETERNAL RETURN, IT OF A TOO SWALLOWS, IT OF A TOO TAKEN, TV SOUL...

We use a general public material and simple techniques "turn-assembled". The video image is treated musicalement (sequences, loops, cut, recalls), the sound is that of the catch of sight. The readable sequence shots, the scenario-account are evacuated with the profit of a high-speed assembly, a sound is systematically a asocier with an image, to prevent an emotional reading of film and to highlight the subliminal place space time.
We experienced a intercept functioning like joining, disruption, generator of ideas; the synchronous character of the image and the sound at high speed is essential with the osmosis of hearing and the vision, with the bringing together of time and space.
In the continuity of the experiments of spatialization of time carried out since 1995 at Laboratory 1KA, the video-music tries to approach the moment, the moment when we live space and time, the eye, with the limit of retinal perception.

ARTICULATE Releasing: Group of 10 plastics technicians brought together with a view to work of group: creation of common work, reflexion on art in exposures to topic (Love and the War, 40000 km of paintings), meets disciplines in same actions. As well as the will of international exchanges.

with Ramon Lopez

Ramon practises counted them and applies this technique to the Battery. Old beater of the National Orchestra of Jazz, it is opened with multiple experiments and we created an action for a beater and a performor with the festival "Full with jazz and musics besides" close to Orleans. Creation of membranes filtering the raw light directed on the witnesses and crossing of slit until the bottom of the room, totems out of mirror and sound amplification of the Scotch tape rollers. Rhythmic impulses and plastic settings concerned for a concert also to be seen.

Text esoteric published in the Magazine the oweb, in connection with this action:
Creation for a strange duet, performor (Yorga) and percussionnist (Ramon Lopez)
One attends a creation on the heap and strong strange between Yorga, odd specimen made main of the adhesive plastic and an accompaniment with the battery and the percussions sometimes made remote then sharpened thereafter at the rate/rhythm of the weaving of an abstract fabric which with the wire of the rollers of adhesives deployed with widened gestures, never adopts several forms entiérement definite and which are erased all at once and let themselves cover by others hastened to exist...
This duet invites us to a performance somewhat absurd and yet trépignante of direction: "pulled about course, unstable enters the need to exist while being alone and while being with the different ones". The beater, even if it are hardly perceptible because of being hidden by the fabric which does not cease being born in all directions, the movements and arrangements which it transcribes in the play of darkness and sharp light which reflects on work in mobility of Yorga, suggests environment and comes to be registered without certainty in the sound space of creation (because the gaber and the industrial plastic film offer a rich person pallets quite moderate sounds). With its manner with him, in its fabric of contemporary to paper frescos decorated with rhythmic impulses."

Wolfram improvises on Chopin, Bach and Gershwin with the same rage inside, ready with all the joys of the invention. We already made several actions together, in Berlin, Leipzig and Weimar. Actions " Autopsy and donation of organs " where it played in a cinema with alive spiders walking on its back, "Alice and mad daddy in Plastikland" where its Yamaha mixed lyric station-wagon-beat and flights, and "three girls of minotaure" with a tuba of diving in the mouth (plastic songs in apnea).

3 acts: projections, concert, performance. This cabaret was designed and carried out in 2001 in troglodytes (space of contemporary art "the terrestrial propeller") and in a theatre of the Maine-and-Loire (Pouancé).

Martin Lersch plays of the brush, the sax, the clarinet and the electric guitar like various Visio-sound toys. He passes his instruments and the history of art in pedals of effects, mixes the whole with humour and poetry. Topic: "the navel in the history of art, classicisme and depth".
