Since 2007, Gerando has mainly devoted himself to the Labyrinth of Time, a multi-support work at the same time polyartistic and technological, museum installations, digital art, video mapping, interactive visual and sound installations, sculptures with 3D projection, instrumental and vocal creations with real-time electronics, poetry-dance-theatre writing.[citation needed]
Among the last pieces belonging to the Labyrinth of Time are: The circle of the sphere for actor and video (2012); The strange passage of the senses for theatre, contemporary dance, percussions, video, virtual paintings, cello, horn, real-time electronics and electroacoustics (2015); Completion for instrumental ensemble with variable number, with body, text and musical score, real-time electronics, video and computer (2019); Vertical Memory electroacoustic cycle with the voices of Viriginia Guidi, Nicholas Isherwood and Emmanuel Meyer (2022). With the support of France, one of the last monumental international screenings of the Labyrinth is on the Azadi Tower of Tehran, on July 19, 2018 .[4]
Books, articles, dictionary, collaborations with scientists such as Franck Jedrzejewski [fr], Athanase Papadopoulos, Christophe Mourougane (mathematicians), Jérôme Pétri (astrophysicist), Louis Bigo (computer scientist), Gille Baroin (engineering doctor), Gérando's research deals with theoretical and technological issues (world premieres – modulo 24 homometric sets, series all intervals in an octave and zigzag, series all intervals nested in a micro-intervallic series, model of spectral representation in four dimensions etc.) and on the other hand, historical, aesthetic, educational and institutional issues related to the notion of creation.[citation needed]
Gérando speaks publicly on other topics, such as ethical issues as on the occasion of Alain Bancquart's eightieth birthday[5] at the Centre de la musique contemporaine (CDMC) in Paris on November 6, 2014, speech published on the front page of the newspaper Médiapart[6] on November 8, 2014, or other example in 2016, in the context of relations between France and Morocco on «the art of entrepreneurship» at the Institut Français d'Agadir.[7]
