Cubicules

The media artists involved in Cubicules agreed to follow a particular constraint, namely to rethink the dimensions of their work in terms of small installations, such as small video objects. Cubicules thus privileges artistic processes that favour experimentation and the revitalization of media arts practices over the presentation of objects for mere contemplation. The video installations included in this exhibition explore new forms of sensorality, as well as ways of reading the moving image, while also creating unique environments: meeting places between human and machine. Considering video installation in terms of its spatial dimensions led the group to propose interventions that allowed them to push the limits of their art. The work of media artist and Perte de Signal member, Jason Arsenault, is engaged primarily in creating digital video installations and single-channel videos that seek to question the spectator’s role, reception, and experience of image and sound. Alexis Bellavance’s work concentrates on the hidden facets of “reality,” and attempts to give voice to ambiguous silences and the chaotic æsthetic of nature in its more intimate forms through the use of installation, performance, and audio art. Myriam Bessette works primarily in media art, in which she undertakes a variety of digital sound and video installations, as well as single-channel video. Robin Dupuis is a founding member and Artistic Director of Perte de Signal. His work aims to create an aleatory, uncertain and baroque environment within a particular construction. In the work of Claudette Lemay, transformed images of the body create an intimate and poetic universe, to which her voice gives rhythm. Perte de Signal is a media arts research and development centre whose projects attempt to reconsider how digital works are presented. It is a non-profit organization that provides professional services to the community, including artist representation, production of artworks and events, equipment rental, curatorial work, mentorship, networking, publishing, advocacy for artist rights, ancillary support for improving artist’s socio-economic conditions, and promoting media arts.
