\nInternational Digital Miniprint Exhibition 17

\nCurator: Andr\u00e9e Pr\u00e9fontaine<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From November 8 to December 13, 2022, the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle hosted the 17th edition of its International Digital Miniprint Exhibition, curated this year by artist Andr\u00e9e Pr\u00e9fontaine.<\/p>\n

Presented at the gallery as well as on social media, the exhibition entitled Transformations<\/em> highlighted 77 works by 51 artists from the following countries: Canada, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Latvia, Japan, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium and North Macedonia.<\/p>\n

Since always, everything is in perpetual change: the cycle of the seasons, our bodies, etc., in fact, everything reacts to time, to the environment… Everything evolves, changes, according to a variable speed. We are surrounded by genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and our genome is now known and manipulated.<\/p>\n

More than ever, our relationship with space is also changing. Influenced by technology, since the advent of digital, work environments are adapting to a new reality and migrating to virtual space. The same is true with our interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n

Even our relationship to time changes over the years! But where is the border between the ephemeral and the perpetual? What about predictable cyclical changes and those that occur without warning? Are all these transformations desirable or inevitable?<\/p>\n

Whether it is the result of an action of exogenous (external) forces or through endogenous (internal) forces, wouldn’t the transformation be a characteristic of the living and of the importance of the dynamism of the subject\/environment?<\/p>\n

Cash prizes were awarded to the artists of the deserving works. The winners were announced on December 14 on social media and the Voix Visuelle website.<\/p>\n

From September 6 to October 11 2022, the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle hosted the exhibition Pr\u00e9misse (Premise), by Sophie Perry.<\/p>\n

\u2028Pr\u00e9misse<\/strong><\/em> deals with the relationship between humans and cyber-machines inspired by pop culture rather than taking stock of digital technology, extrapolating to the point of absurdity the representations that we make of technological tools, like a magnifying mirror of our behaviours towards them.
\nPlaying on popular representations of artificial intelligence, especially those explored in Hollywood movies, Pr\u00e9misse<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0questions with humor our beliefs about technology; are we not too inclined to lend these machines a form of intentionality close to our own?<\/p>\n

From May 28 to July 5, 2022, the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle hosted the \u201cVoix Jeunes Talents\u201d exhibition, curated by Valentin Bureau.<\/p>\n

Carried by a young generation in search of refreshing ideas and innovation, the digital arts have today become an important and flourishing current. Over the last nine years, Voix Visuelle has been organizing the \u201cVoix Jeunes Talents\u201d exhibition, which aims to promote young artists by providing them with professional support and a formal exhibition space in order to bring their practice to light.<\/p>\n

Born during the rise of new technologies, these artists developed an intrinsic understanding and use of the computer language, of the different platforms and the many forms of expression available with the technology, allowing them to explore all the fields of possibilities, both in the themes addressed and in the mediums used.<\/p>\n

Based on this fact, two questions come to mind: How the relationship between humans and technology will evolve in the coming years and, how the new generation of artists will adapt their own practice in this increasingly digitalized world?<\/p>\n

Valentin Bureau: Curator<\/p>\n

The opening of the exhibit was held on Thursday, June 02 2022, at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

Le Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle would like to thank the Ontario Arts Council<\/strong>, Canadian Heritage<\/strong>, the City of Ottawa<\/strong>, AGAVF<\/strong>, Marcil Lavall\u00e9e<\/strong> and the Caisse Desjardins Ontario<\/strong> for their support.<\/p>\n

From April 12 to May 17 2022, the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle will host the exhibition The Ambiguous mirror, by John Graham.<\/p>\n

Multidisciplinary artist and experimental filmmaker, John Graham entwines art practices by drawing inspiration from poetic narration that he mixes with kinetic concepts in order to conceive new visual interpretations inspired, most definitely, by a surreal universe.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features an installation of digital photo-collages with experimental dance films. The still imagery presents enigmatic visual narratives as reconfigured historic \u201cWild West\u201d imagery. The 4 dreamlike videos are tinged with silent film influences. His \u201cvideo-dances\u201d are the result of collaborations from two artist residencies (Budapest and Montreal) and have been viewed in more than a hundred film festivals around the world. Each of these body of works uniquely explores the lyricism of the subconscious and the complex nature of inner knowledge.<\/p>\n

Le Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle would like to thank the Ontario Arts Council<\/strong>, Canadian Heritage<\/strong>, the City of Ottawa<\/strong>, AGAVF<\/strong>, Marcil Lavall\u00e9e<\/strong> and the Caisse Desjardins Ontario<\/strong> for their support.<\/p>\n

From March 1 to April 2, 2022, the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle will host the exhibition There Will Come Soft Rains, by Christopher Payne.
\nThe artist is an \u201cart farmer\u201d who probes the relationship between objects, mediation and culture. He holds an MFA from the University of Ottawa and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Canada and elsewhere. He was originally trained in cinema, then his work and interests broadened to include sound, sculpture, video art, and virtual spaces. With his exhibition, he explores the richness and emptiness left by the experience of virtual reality as well as the interrelationships that operate between a medium and its properties.<\/p>\n
