SUMMARY:Enhancing Immersive Art Through Auditory Perception: a workshop with Austin Tecks-Bleuer
DESCRIPTION:Come join Immersive Storytelling Studio member Austin Tecks-Bleuer for an introductory workshop on immersive audio on March 7th from 1-2pm in EV 10.705! \nThis workshop sets out to demystify the science behind auditory perception to create more captivating immersive experiences. Open to all experience levels\, Austin will cover basic concepts primarily relating to spatialization. Learn how physiological and perceptual mechanisms shape our response to sound\, and gain practical techniques for leveraging auditory stimuli to elevate your artistic creations. \nPart 1: A light overview of the different mechanisms that allow humans to localize a sound (primarily head related transfer function and inter-aural time difference). \nPart 2: How reverb and high frequency attenuation determine our perception of a physical space. \nPart 3: Some practical examples in a game engine. \nAustin Tecks-Bleuer is a composer\, pop music producer/songwriter\, and immersive installation artist currently pursuing Electroacoustic Studies at Concordia University. Transitioning from a background in music production\, Austin’s focus has shifted to creating immersive installations using tools like the Unreal Engine and TouchDesigner. His work blurs the line between physical and digital spaces\, inviting viewers into captivating experiences that merge art and technology. \nWhen? March 7th\, from 1-2pm \nWhere? EV 10.705 \nNo previous knowledge or registration is required to participate in this event! \n

SUMMARY:Milieux experiential learning workshop series | Tactile Sound
DESCRIPTION:Friday Workshops at Milieux continues after Reading Week! \n\nThe third session will be: ‘Tactile Sound’\nFriday March 8th 2024 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.\nwith Ryth Kesselring & Geneviève Moisan. \nThis workshop aims to explore the senses\, by transforming the experience of sound from the auditory to the tactile and visual. How can we re-imagine the experience of sound via textiles and other material substrates? We will look at different computational and electronic platforms for integrating sound creation capabilities into textiles and learn different methods of creating soft speakers\, affording opportunities for sound to be worn\, felt & viewed in different ways. \nMulti-disciplinary artist and recent MFA graduate Ryth Kesselring will discuss her research and recent projects\, along with other work in this field. She will then demonstrate the use and capabilities of several components that can facilitate the inclusion of sound into a textile wearable / artwork. We will also look at different textile speaker coils and magnet configurations in relation to the body to experience the sound in different ways. \nPlease email to reserve a space as slots are limited.\nContact marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca\, and be sure to include ‘Tactile Sound’ in the subject line.\nConfirmations will be sent out within a couple of days. \n  \n\nPart of Milieux’s Winter experiential learning workshop series\, exploring themes relating to AI & microbial agency\, issues of sustainable practices\, and intimacy and alternate senses\, splicing traditional craft techniques with creative new ways of working. This season’s workshop series in development include: AI Poetry Embroidery\, Exploring Archiving with Bio-Plastics & Resins\, Bacterial Portraiture\, Alternative Pigments (Algae\, Rust & Plant Matter) and Tactile Sound! \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Evicted City by Laurence Turcotte-Fraser & Priscillia Piccoli +Q&A (co-presented by the Concordia Ethnography Lab + with the McGill Critical Media Club)
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab has once again teamed up with McGill’s Critical Media Club\, this time to host Laurence Turcotte-Fraser & Priscillia Piccoli who will present their powerful film Evicted City (2023). The screening and talk is happening March 15th\, 2024 at 6:30 pm at the VA-114 Cinema of Concordia. Free! No registration! All are invited! \nAbout the film: Montreal — one of the few remaining affordable cities in North America — is now in the midst of an unprecedented housing crisis. An intimate portrait of socio-political resistance\, this multilayered film explores the human impact of real estate speculation on the cities of tomorrow.\n \nAbout the directors: Laurence Turcotte-Fraser is an emerging filmmaker first known for her short film Domino (Regards 2018)\, as well as her director of photography work (L’étrange province\, Les Jaunes\, Blast Beat). Her first feature-length documentary\, The End of Wonderland (2021)\, was released theatrically in Canada and travelled internationally (IDFA\, RIDM\, OUTFEST LA\, BFI FLARE). This eccentric portrait of erotic artist Tara Emory allowed her to explore her love for direct cinema and to find a human approach both in front of and behind the camera. With her second feature film Evicted City\, co-directed with Priscillia Piccoli\, she continues her documentary artistic approach by scrutinizing the housing crisis in her home city\, Montreal. \nPriscillia Piccoli is an emerging filmmaker known for her short film Mathieu (Bell Fund Prize\, Fantasia International Film Festival) and her short documentary As Hard As Ice (Prix d’Unis TV et Réalisatrices Équitables at the 2020 Regions Race). Committed to direct cinema\, Priscillia uses the 7th art to find the silver lining in social-political dilemmas. During the first year of the pandemic\, while training as a social worker in a homeless day center\, she questioned the storm to come in her hometown\, Montreal. With her first feature film Evicted City\, co-directed with Laurence Turcotte-Fraser\, Priscillia launches a cry from the heart by granting the right to speak to the evicted people of a metropolis in full change. \nThis event is supported by the Concordia Ethnography Lab’s Visual Methods Studio (VMS) and the McGill Critical Media Club.

SUMMARY:Milieux at Rencontres Interdisciplinaires 2024!
DESCRIPTION:The Milieux Institute is proud to announce the participation of several of its members in Rencontres Interdisciplinaires. Organized by Hexagram\, Rencontres Interdisciplinaires tackles current research-creation discussions through the prism of a specific theme. For this 3rd edition\, discussions will focus on the theme of agency·ies.   \nAfter the recent discoveries in the fields of biotechnology\, AI\, robotics and environmental sciences\, among others\, new questions about interactions between human and more-than-humans have emerged.   \nThose new interactions highlight new forms of agency that raise questions not only about our relationship with the world\, but also challenge artists and researchers’ anthropocentric posture. In this context\, participants will reflect on how research-creation offers new modes of engagement with agents\, materials and objects that oscillate between art and science?  \nDuring those 4 days\, Milieux’s members will take part in round tables\, conferences\, demonstrations and workshops to put forward singular research-creation approaches that highlight the capacities of objects\, whether human or non-human.  \n  \nLearn more about the event here.  \nImage credit: Jean-Ambroise Vesac\, modifié avec autorisation de l’artiste. \n  \nWHEN: March 25-28\, 2024  \nWHERE: UQÀM | Agora du Coeur des Sciences (behind the President-Kennedy Pavilion)  \n                175\, Av.

SUMMARY:Writing urban life: stories of waste and cities
DESCRIPTION:Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab for a thought-provoking exploration of urban life with Durham University professor Colin Mcfarlane\, as he challenges conventional narratives and invites us to reimagine the cityscape! \nIn this presentation\, Colin Mcfarlane will delve into his recent research on urban fragments and waste\, asking: “how do we write differently about urban life?”. Mcfarlane will explore various conceptual frameworks\, writing techniques\, and ideological stances that could influence our perception and portrayal of urban existence. The discussion will highlight both the opportunities and obstacles\, as well as the unresolved inquiries and overlooked aspects\, within this discourse. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:  \nColin Mc Farlane is a professor at Durham University. His work focusses on the experience and politics of the city. He explores how cities are known\, lived and politicised. This includes research on urban living\, densities\, fragments\, and learning across different cities\, focussing in particular on the economic margins. \n  \n  \n: March 27\, 2024 | 12-1:30 p.m \n: Speculative Life Research Cluster E.V 10.625 \n: Make sure to register HERE ! \n
