Description of projects presented:
Anissa Boukili El Hassani presents "L'océan est un cri qu'on n'entend pas", a research-creation project exploring the profound relationship between science, technology and the legacy of colonialism. Through an immersive installation composed of audio, video and poetry, Boukili El Hassani explores the fascinating links between sea waves and sound waves, using the Atlantic Ocean as a metaphorical space linking his two countries, Quebec and Morocco. Her work examines the transformation of sea waves into sound waves, offering a contemplative exploration of identity and the weight of history. This residency will present a miniature prototype of the great transatlantic crossing planned for 2024.
Marilou Lyonnais Archambault presents "Music by the sun", an installation project exploring the concept of the sound garden. Inspired by the listening pedagogy and soundscape theories of R. Murray Schafer, Archambault's project invites participants to enter a space of introspection and contemplation, where solar-powered speaker-sculptures create a dynamic scenography. "Music by the sun" aims to raise awareness of sonic environments and sound ecologies, highlighting the changes brought about by industrialization. By embracing the sound fluctuations of the natural environment, the sound garden offers a space for co-creation that interweaves different environments, electronics and sound, underlining our connection with the world around us.
