SUMMARY:Inertia: Speculative Fossils Exhibition
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nFrom April 22 to June 13\, 2022Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan de Montréal4801 Pierre-De Coubertin Avenue \n\n\n\nGuillaume Pascale and the research group led by Alice Jarry (Concordia University): Brice Ammar-Khodja\, Jacqueline Beaumont\, Asa Perlman and Philippe Vandal\, in collaboration with Ariane Plante. With the participation of Jean Dubois (UQAM). \n\n\n\nA speculative work that crosses the disappearance of the Earth in the eye of the Voyager probes with the atmospheric and ecological situation in the east of Montreal. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n1977. The two Voyager probes are launched into space to study the planets in our Solar System. Symbolically\, each one carries a gold-plated copper disk bearing a message intended to represent humanity. It contains images\, music and drawings meant for a hypothetical intelligent extra-terrestrial life form. \n\n\n\nInertia revisits this approach on Earth using artifacts created to reflect today’s environmental challenges — they’re made of biomaterials\, that is\, renewable organic plant or animal matter. The work centres around a bioplastic disk that displays a binary representation of a daytime air quality status near petrochemical plants east of Montreal. This becomes the score for the first piece of music in a sequence of four composed using these data as well as the calculated distance of the Voyager probes from our planet. A series of laser-engraved biomaterial membranes and a film bear witness to this process\, which suggests that in the same way that Earth is disappearing from the eye of the Voyager probes\, the living conditions of the planet’s inhabitants are becoming increasingly precarious. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nApril 22\, 2022\, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PMDebris\, space\, and meaning around the exhibition ‘Inertia: Speculative Fossils’ — The waste cycle of planetary vision infrastructuresDemos + Round Table \n\n\n\nAs Voyager’s scientific instruments are gradually being shut down due to a lack of available electrical energy\, this public activity organized within the context of Earth Day 2022 proposes\, from a vertical perspective\, to compare the issues related to space debris with those generated by our ways of life on Earth. Drawing on engagement in their practice with residual\, geo-inspired\, reactive\, intelligent or sustainable materials\, the invited artists\, designers\, media theorists and scientists will take an interdisciplinary look at how these artifacts allow us to envision new scenarios and relationships for the waste – material and technological – produced on Earth\, but also left adrift in space. \n\n\n\nThe event is free and will be hosted in both French and English. \n\n\n\nDemos 1:00 PM to 2:30 PMRound Table 2:30 PM to 4:00 PMFor participants\, please consult the Planétarium’s website here. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nApril 28\, 2022\, 6 PMInertia Exhibition Vernissage + Performance \n\n\n\nGuillaume Pascale will offer a sound performance\, improvising in real-time with the distance between the Voyager probes and the Earth. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:'Returning to the Trees' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the Trees—the Technological Burnout Crisis (Schizzing the Opera Practice and Narrative) is the 19th proposition/piece in the Ph.D. thesis: Composing with the Event—Techniques that Move Toward Neurodiverse Perception/Sensation. \n\n\n\nThe proposition/piece is also part of the SSHRC funded research project RISE (Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments) led by Dr. Eldad Tsabary. \n\n\n\nRISE’s theme of the year\, “Technological Crises”\, sparked a desire to schizz the field; to explore how to find activation when starting from a neurotypical figure such as “theme”\, “topic” and/or “narrative”. Furthermore\, a reimagining of the opera medium was called for. This appetite for practicing the schizz\, the desiring-machine\, took hold of these (pre-)figures and\, through play (pushing\, pulling\, dismantling\, deconstructing)\, lured them into a field of activity\, transforming them from static to operational. By refraining from the neurotypical tendency to parse and harden experience (to categorize and to represent)\, the field of relation can then be felt. \n\n\n\nThe schizosomatic proposition’s offer was to be composed by the event; to let be felt the event orienting itself towards a collective attunement and emergent ecology\, creating the conditions for trans-sensory (and nonsensuous) qualities to co-compose constellations. \n\n\n\nCarrying germs of experience across event-times\, this panopticon of technological form-taking demonstrates how the proposition folded onto itself; the suggestion of a moving away from technology activated those very qualities in the eventing. The vitality affect running through the material is felt in how the qualities co-compose across the 9 video angles impressionistically—form and subject blurring\, releasing the qualities of forming felt. \n\n\n\nHow can you participate? Attend the screening in person (there is a max capacity of 20 people in the space) or watch online by registering for the Zoom meeting or watching live on our YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:'Ether' by Genevieve Collins
DESCRIPTION:An immersive sensory environment that explores the possibilities of sensory perception in outer space— \n\n\n\nDATES: December 3rd to the 8th\, CLOSED ON THE 5THHOURS: 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST \n\n\n\nDue to COVID\, it is necessary to email sensoryfutures@gmail.com in advance to schedule a visit and receive a copy of the consent form and project description. \n\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from speculative habitat design\, scientific studies\, and science fiction\, Ether asks questions such as: what does Martian water taste like\, what does the layered atmosphere of Venus smell like\, and how might a non-terrestrial entity register the elements of the Voyager Golden Record? Using sensory ethnography as a guiding method\, this project encourages participants to reflect on their unique sensory experiences and perhaps even imagine a more than human subjectivity.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will take place at L’Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ) at 3535 Saint Denis from December 3rd – 8th. Visitors are asked to participate in a small group discussion after engaging with the exhibition\, and the entire experience will take approximately 45 minutes. A maximum of 3 participants may engage at once\, so please feel free to indicate in your email if you would like to schedule a group visit.  \n\n\n\nThis research is inspired by immersive multi-modal exhibitions created by Chris Salter and David Howes\, such as Displace\, a performative sensory environment designed to engage and combine the senses. Drawing on their research creation methods\, this project combines visuals\, acoustics\, aromas\, tastes\, and tactile sensations to craft a particular sensory atmosphere that participants may find compelling\, confounding\, or blissfully disorienting. The concluding small group discussions offer participants the opportunity to share their unique experiences in the immersive environment and reflect on how their sensory perception may have been subverted\, altered\, or ‘reconfigured’ (Howes & Salter 2016). \n\n\n\nGenevieve Collins is an MA student in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University. Her research interests include sensory studies\, futures anthropology\, and astronautical space futures. Her MA thesis project is directed by Professor David Howes and funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)\, Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT)\, ExperiSens\, le centre collégial de transfert de technologie (CCTT) de l’Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ). \n\n\n\nPlease email sensoryfutures@gmail.com for more information and to schedule a visit.

SUMMARY:Decoding and Reimagining Posthuman Identity Exhibition by Oonagh Fitzgerald
DESCRIPTION:A mixed media art exhibition and social engagement\, prepared by Oonagh E. Fitzgerald and presented by LePARC\, from November 29th to December 3rdGALLERY HOURS: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PMFINISSAGE: December 3rd\, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM \n\n\n\nThrough participatory mixed media art projects\, Oonagh explores the material relations between international law\, art and governance. With found wood and bark\, plastic waste\, wood and fabric scraps\, string and thread\, paper and prefabricated masks\, clay\, water- and oil-based paints\, Oonagh investigates posthuman identity and imagination in times of global environmental\, health\, social\, economic\, political\, and technological crisis.   \n\n\n\nMaking\, performing\, and engaging in complex and elaborate human-material-technological assemblages\, Oonagh seeks to connect materials and people and generate new insights and inspiration for tackling global problems and contributing to a more sustainable\, equitable and just posthuman era. \n\n\n\nThis transdisciplinary research practice builds on philosophical frameworks (postmodernism\, posthumanism\, new materialism\, speculative futures\, and colonial legacy\, gender\, and critical legal studies)\, and methodologies of research-creation\, autoethnography\, case study\, and socially engaged art. The projects seek to decode meaning and reimagine identity\, solidarity\, resistance\, and resilience in the face of the multiple crises of the Anthropocene. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to come to enjoy the exhibit and contribute to decoding and recoding posthuman meanings\, values\, and identities. \n\n\n\nOonagh Fitzgerald  B.F.A. (Hon.)\, LL.B.\, LL.M.\, S.J.D.\, M.B.A.\, is an INDI PhD in Fine Arts student at Concordia University\, under the supervision of Professor Eldad Tsabary and a member of LePARC. She brings to her performance and visual research-creation artworks her experience as dancer\, choreographer and visual artist; senior executive and international lawyer in the federal government; university sessional lecturer; and director of international law research at a think tank. \n\n\n\nEnthusiastic about exploring international law\, art\, and governance\, Oonagh has interviewed for national and international news media\, written and edited books\, essay series and articles\, and spoken publicly on topics including research-creation and participant-based art projects\, corporate citizenship\, gender equality\, Indigenous people’s rights\, climate change and technological innovation.  \n\n\n\nShe is a Senior Fellow at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre\, co-chair of the Canadian Environmental Domestic Advisory Group\, and a director of the International Law Association of Canada.

SUMMARY:'Fossilation' at the Pompidou
DESCRIPTION:Researchers and student members of the Speculative Life Cluster Biolab present Fossilation at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris\n\n\n\nThe artwork is part of the Hors-Pistes Festival\, February 1 to 14\, 2021 and the Matières d´image exhibition. \n\n\n\nCo-developed with l’École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (Ensad\, Paris\, with the EnsadLab laboratory) and the University of Toronto Mississauga\, the artwork is part of a research-creation project about the operative concept of ‘membranes’ (dir. Alice Jarry\, co-dir. Samuel Bianchini and Marie-Pier Boucher). \n\n\n\nIt was produced collectively – on both sides of the Atlantic – by Brice Ammar-Khodja\, Alexandra Bachmayer\, Samuel Bianchini\, Marie-Pier Boucher\, Didier Bouchon\, Maria Chekhanovich\, Matthew Halpenny\, Alice Jarry\, Raphaëlle Kerbrat\, Annie Leuridan\, Vanessa Mardirossian\, Asa Perlman\, Philippe Vandal and Lucile Vareilles\, with the collaboration of Louise Rustan (Light Design) and Théo Chauvirey\, Corentin Loubet\, Joséphine Mas and Simon Paugoy (technical support).Similar to a film roll\, a large bioplastic membrane is made up of several successive photograms. Rather than being the effect of a certain photographic framing\, these quasi-images come from a slow form-taking process: the imprint of obsolete electronic display devices (flat screen\, cables\, computer and its peripherals). \n\n\n\nSubtle light patterns animate the photograms and fluctuate according to the interference of residual energies captured on the building’s surfaces and heating/cooling pipes. The installation\, in direct contact with the Pompidou’s infrastructure\, configures an ecosystem where the image\, which has become a material imprint\, composes with different dimensions specific to its environment. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe project is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC); The Chaire arts & sciences of École polytechnique\, École des Arts Décoratifs-PSL and the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation; Hexagram – International Network Dedicated to Research-Creation in Media Arts\, Design\, Technology and Digital Culture; and Milieux Institute for Arts\, Culture and Technology.

SUMMARY:Black Room / HTMLelles vernissage
DESCRIPTION:AS PART OF THE HTMLLES FESTIVAL\, TAG PRESENTS BLACK ROOM\, A WEB-BROWSER-BASED NARRATIVE GAME BY CASSIE MCQUATER.\n\n\n\nIn Black Room\, you play as an insomniac on the verge of sleep\, moving through shifting states of consciousness. Hallucinatory\, pixelated visions of landscapes filled with characters from the games of your childhood appear as you click through fragile internet spaces. Often interrupted\, you continually return to the Black Room\, a meditation technique your mother taught you for falling asleep\, visualizing black flowers in a black vase on a black table in the center of a black room. \n\n\n\nConceived as a feminist dungeon crawler\, this game features a majority female cast of video game sprites from the 1970s-current day. This work seeks to bring these characters together to form new narratives: Chun Li reposes in a desert oasis filled with flamingos; Catwoman cartwheels across the nighttime beaches of Coney Island; Jennifer Simpson\, the lead character from Clock Tower\, runs endlessly through the brightly pixelated fantasy landscapes of the Oregon Trail. \n\n\n\nAfter the vernissage\, Black Room will on display from November 5 to 9th in the Milieux Nerve Centre (EV11.455) \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the HTMlles Festival\, a feminist festival in media arts and digital culture produced by Studio XX.
