CURATOR'S INTENTIONS
This exhibition centers on physical displacements, temporal disjunctions, material transformations and perceptual reconfigurations in the interactive new media work of several Canadian artists. <...>
WORKS PRESENTED
>
PEAU D'ANE
by Valérie Lamontagne
Through the processes of interactive wearable technology, Lamontagne constructs three dresses described in Charles Perrault’s fairy tale Peau d’Âne - of sky, moonbeams and sunlight.
>
POD
by Steve Heimbecker
64 movement sensors have recorded the wind blowing across a Montreal roof. In the Gallery, 64 light sculptures respond to this information as they present a constantly shifting visual patterning reflecting the wind’s velocity, direction and wave motion.
>
SCRIBES

Miniature robots embedded with radio wave receivers draw cartographic images derived from multiple emitting sources including cell phones, broadcast signals, and natural emissions.
>
TAKEN

Taken is a surveillance installation tracks visitors within the Gallery space, and the images stream is presented in two large projections, each presenting a different reading of this activity.
>
THE PORTABLE SUBLIME
by Ingrid Bachmann
Eight suitcases each open to their own singular, animate narrative.
