Journées de la culture 2012

1 pm – Artist Talk with Steffie Bélanger and Josée Brouillard (in French), recipients of the Caisse populaire Desjardins of Mont-Royal Young New Media Artists Award (Studio 01)
The two artists will discuss Résonance visuelle, a sculptural and interactive video installation that came into being through a collaboration exploring sound as a way of conceptualizing visually. The project aims to build an silent environment that symbolizes sound in an ironic way. A multimedia artist that works with human psychology and a sculptor who brings life to still lifes have joined forces to realize a project that brings together the object and the human body. Using programming and audio sensors, the viewer's voice is transformed into video that is then projected in the presentation space. The work presents sound as a sensorial experience where the approaches of the two artists allow technology to unite with matter.

Choeur Maha was founded in 1991 by composer/performer Kathy Kennedy and visual artist Su Schnee. The choir has delighted audiences for two decades with their creative repertoire, singing in as many languages and styles as possible, from Hildegard von Bingen to Hildegard Westerkamp, from Mozart to Madonna – and often incorporating a healthy dose of electroacoustic music for good measure.
