From September 8 to 10, the Play series' five double programs carve out space for experimentation inside Place des Arts’ Cinquième Salle. Play highlights the exploratory, visceral and playful character of contemporary artists in digital art, audiovisual creation, and electronic music.
Chris Salter & Alexandre Saunier — SNN#3: Forms of the Living LIVE A/V World Premiere
SNN #3: Forms of the Living takes place simultaneously in three distant locations: live in Montréal, Berlin and Tokyo. Using light, video, sound, VR, artificial life algorithms and neural networks, Salter, Saunier and Ikegami orchestrate a global experience that while internationally shared, is impossible to grasp in its entirety.
Automatisme — Alter- LIVE World Premiere
Automatisme is a Quebec-based electronic music producer who explores the intersections of drone, glitch, dub techno, ambient, electro-acoustic, noise, and digital art. He will present Alter-, a live audiovisual performance that is a deterritorialization of the beat and of the current natural and digital landscapes.
