presentation
Le Corps Social:
multimedia installation
by Stéphanie Lagueux, a Studio XX coproduction
The Social Body is a video and web installation in which surfers on the web, through their responses, affect a body modelled in fat. Demonstrating the powerful effect of ideas on matter by a process of “art-statistics”, this sensitizing device evokes the massive influence of the social body on each individual one.
1:45
lancement de la programmation et des ateliers de l’année au STUDIO XX: jake moore et Marie-Hellène Lemay
2:00: Performance des artistes des ateliers Max/MSP
Introduction par l’instructeur Patrice Coulombe
Vera Ronkos: on the cello/max patch
with Patrice Coulombe on violin
Vera will play the cello that will be effected different ways by a patch that resulted from the Studio XX course Max/MSP.
after this,
the first live processed audio-visual performance of I8U
“BURDEN”
Burden is an ongoing project inspired by the metamorphosis of the soul from Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The concept is that when art becomes subjectively stale, the artist feels burden. Once this Burden becomes too heavy, the paradigm shifts and the artist can create anew. Through MAX/msp and jitter, I8U explores this concept with a live performance using a patch that acts as a new instrument to show this metamorphosis.
and throughout the day we will be streaming live:
Refresh: The first International Conference on Media Art Histories

Her Web art can be said to follow a parallel path, incorporating both musical and visual elements. Her work continues to evolve as technologies enable her to create in new environments.
_Vera Ronkos
