one with the Mi.Mu gloves. With technical support from Professor Kelly Snook, Media Arts Technology, University of Brighton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d23073ed4d6640001770c0a/1562581257003-1EBDNZL8QDIVNYZEUJ3T/Installing+TheWholeInside_OliviaLouvel_picJames+Boardman+1.jpg Selected works - 'The Whole Inside' The Whole Inside is a generative sound mural combining artificial and human voices. Using nine Visaton speakers, Pure Data and data projection, the artist confronts femininity and violent misogyny, by which the body is being depersonalized, leading to subsequent dissociation as a defense mechanism to cope with traumatic events. The work is based on a graphically violent text sourced from the incels.me (“involuntary celibates”) forum. The Whole Inside was selected for the Longlist at the Aesthetica Art Prize 2021 and is published in the ‘Aesthetica Art Prize Anthology: Future Now.’ 2019 runner-up prize for The Whole Inside.

The fifth Middlesbrough Art Week (2022) titled power POWER endeavoured to question how official power is wielded and how unofficial power is expressed. LOL is a site-specific sonic intervention delivered through the public address system of Middlesbrough’s CCTV surveillance network, reflecting the current state of political affairs in Britain. On dedicated sites in the centre of town, passers-by heard political slogans, and news headlines read by the AI voice ‘Kate’. LOL was broadcast at specific times over four days 22-25 September 2022. Composed by Olivia Louvel, and produced in collaboration with Kersten Glandien, artistic director of Sound Art Brighton, an independent initiative that celebrates the presence of sound art in Brighton. The three-part collage also includes a field recording ‘Climate Justice’ by Swiss artist Stefano Christen. Commissioned by The Auxiliary, 2022. Thank you to The Auxiliary’s directors Anna Byrne, Kyp Kyprianou, and Liam Slevin. Thank you to the Middlesbrough surveillance team for their participation. With LOL, Olivia Louvel was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Best Sound Art at The Ivors Classical Awards 2023. The Ivors Academy jury remarked: “LOL is a provocative, disruptive and impactful work, deftly constructed with humour”.

The intention was to document the process of working on a visual maquette at home in preparation for the audiovisual work 'The Sculptor Speaks' (2020) and taking further inspiration from the artist’s original sketches for a future installation. The artist projected the seascape on the wall as a moving image, then filmed herself - the figure - installing lines of washi tape, creating a fragile form. French director Agnès Varda, in her documentary 'The Gleaners and I' (2000), made room for exposing the creative process itself of making the film. Varda included herself in the image at times, either combing her newly discovered grey hair, or revealing her aging hands. In my short film, the task of carefully placing the washi tape conveys the artists at work - The Sculptor and I. It is an evocation of the sculptor tracing the form before carving the material whilst alluding to the magnetic tape itself being unfolded as we hear it in my resounding. I chose deliberately not to make any editing. It is a durational performance art, the fragile form emerging in real time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d23073ed4d6640001770c0a/1706965589758-C9VDFV0UZGMCRJOG4O9X/IMG_1062+V1master_BC_23cm.jpg Selected works - doggerLANDscape [released 15 November 2023] doggerLANDscape is a multimedia suite that comprises an album and a video art form inspired by Doggerland, the land that once stretched between the present coast of Britain and Europe. Around 8000 years ago, the River Thames was connected to the Rhine. Doggerland was a place of human habitation––we (the United Kingdom) were not always an island. The contemplative video art doggerLANDscape is based on Louvel’s search for the remnants of the submerged forest of Doggerland along the Lincolnshire coast. It documents her geological finds of the ancient tree remnants that appear at neap tide. After embarking on several walks, she eventually found a series of tree trunks and stumps exposed at low tide on Cleethorpes beach, along with fossilised trees embedded in clay at Wolla Bank near Chapel Point. From sightseeing and placing herself in the land, she has developed ‘journey-form’ narratives on the lost world of Doggerland, experimenting with sounds, voice and visuals. Within Doggerland lies a forceful political and environmental dimension at a time when we have deliberately extracted ourselves from the continent. On Christmas Eve 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed the Brexit deal, declaring that we–the United Kingdom–are an ‘independent coastal state’, only to seemingly contradict himself by stating, ‘we will remain culturally, emotionally, historically, strategically, geologically attached to Europe’. How ‘geologically’ are we attached? And what are the extremities of our island? Our insularity has developed over centuries of rising sea levels, separating us from the continent and engulfing lives. It seems that our independent British coastal state is merely temporary, as we can expect it to be reconnected during future glacial periods. By engaging with both the present and the history of the site, 'doggerLANDscape' contributes to examining our connection to the continent, prompting us to reflect on our identity as British islanders. doggerLANDscape is the 8th studio album by Ivor Novello Award-winning composer and artist Olivia Louvel. Previously, the generative sound mural ‘Doggerland Channels’ (2022) was presented at Phoenix Art Space for the first edition of the Sound Art Brighton festival, and is reinstalled for Middlesbrough Art Week, 28/09 to 07/10/23. The cartographic sound art installation for voice and data projection throws a net over the North Sea, revealing the rivers which used to connect us to the continent.

VoiceScape (2022-2025): a series of three-dimensional prints of my voice. I applied motion graphics to audio to create a haptic voice: a voice that can be touched. Made from renewable plastic, VoiceScape will eventually be affected by environmental changes. This voice is forced out, extruded from the engine. The result is a topographical arrangement of the voice woven from the printing filament. Through a sculptural approach, the voice ventures into a haptic field of frequency and amplitude: a concrete voice. Credits: 3D modelling and audio-visual production: Olivia Louvel.

I was hosted as an artist-in-residence by the Skaftfell Art Centre, founded in 1998 by a collective of artists whose central figure was Swiss artist Dieter Roth. The aim was to investigate the acoustic interplay of voice with sculpture, using the human voice as a tool of perception. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d23073ed4d6640001770c0a/1746439925383-S9SIGIM0YCHDQ378ILO0/IMG_7660.jpg Selected works My Voice Forced Out explores the plasticity of voice, outside the body. The mixed-media installation features a 3D model of Louvel’s voice, VoiceScape 3.0, made from renewable plastic, exhibited alongside data projections overlaying the voice sculpture. The video projection reveals the metamorphic process that occurs in the 3D engine when the voice, still dynamic, is 3D modelled before being printed.
