Femmes br@nchées #65: Spring MOBILITY

April 12th, 2007

Free!

Before we move into our new location we have invited a group of artists to take over the empty space for a night.

Andrea-Jane Cornell, the current artist-in-residence at StudioXX, will present her work “Tracing the Sharawadji”, a sound installation which reconstructs environmental audio recordings of the Canadian Pacific railway lines between the Mile-End and Plateau Mont-Royal districts of Montreal. Andrea-Jane’s installation allows listeners to experience of a part of this environment by sharing field recordings which move about the physical space of the installation, creating new harmonies and distances. Andrea-Jane has worked with Max-Msp software to create this audio experience.

beewoo‘s work explores the tension emerging between urban architecture and the fluxes of wired and wireless media communication, a fuzzy intangible but very real architecture that defies the laws of physics. A playful and graphical re-composition of space takes place on the screens during the presentation which often involves live actions. beewoo will present a triptych video installation based on architecture.

Corina Macdonald, DJ CYAN, will play throughout the evening. The sound of DJ Cyan is born from her growing fascination with the interaction between humans and machines. She fuses elements of Swedish and Detroit techno with house and new electro-retro sounds. A cacophony of technological music, the soul of the machine is finally liberated.

Throughout the event we will also present a visual recap of the history and mobility of Studio XX, which was originally founded on the ground level of this very same building.

Welcome one and all.
