Lemercier makes projections that transform building facades and installation spaces with minimal geometric patters, and has worked with <a href=\"http:\/\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com\/blog\/lighting-up-a-giant-atom-with-leds-and-video-mapping\">architects<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com\/blog\/parisian-gallery-brings-together-two-audio-visual-art-experts-for-new-exhibition\">3D artists<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com\/blog\/new-footage-released-of-jay-zs-giant-crystal-collaboration-with-joanie-lemercier\">musicians including Jay Z<\/a> to add dimension to his work. The symbiosis of Le Comte&#8217;s live tracks and Lemercier&#8217;s visual performance at\u00a0Les Garages Num\u00e9riques in Brussels sparks the kind of pure emotional reaction that has drawn us to the latter&#8217;s work for years. In teaser footage Lemercier recently published on Vimeo, we see one scene that feels like floating through an interstellar nebula, and another that turns the space into a massive refracting kaleidoscope. Check out the full footage below, and be sure to leave your headphones in for Le Comte&#8217;s heart-melting ambient track.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-container-article__top__ad--5899ce89f92cb74e8097e29b-1\" class=\"interstitial-ad-container\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.875rem; position: relative;\">\n<p class=\"ad__disclaimer\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<div id=\"article__top__ad--5899ce89f92cb74e8097e29b-1\" class=\"article__ad\" data-google-query-id=\"CK7e5eH4xtICFcmgUQodXVcIMA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/16916245\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com_1__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/16916245\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com_1\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/16916245\/thecreatorsproject.vice.com_1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-integralas-id-3816cf3d-41a4-6c9b-cd65-1d9519bd3a2c=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<picture class=\"article__image\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=400:*, https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=600:* 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 25em)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=650:*, https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=975:* 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 40.625em)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=850:*, https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=1275:* 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 53.125em)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg?resize=898:*\" media=\"(min-width: 53.125em)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/creators-images.vice.com\/content-images\/contentimage\/no-slug\/9b5f0ccfc3a32cc0ddd5736ec6c059f4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\" data-iframely-id=\"ZqmISD\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oembed.vice.com\/ZqmISD\" width=\"840\" height=\"410\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>See more of Joanie Lemercier&#8217;s work <a href=\"http:\/\/joanielemercier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">on his website<\/a>, and follow LeComte <a href=\"https:\/\/lecomte.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/creators.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/pure-joy-looks-like-this-kaleidoscopic-light-installation\">Creators<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow\u00a0our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lightlumen\">FB page\u00a0Lumen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joanie LeMercier and Le Comte&#8217;s new installation will give you butterflies in your stomach.
