Part of Futurs Antérieurs – SAT 30th anniversary – June 6th 2026
France Jobin & Markus Heckmann
For its 30th anniversary, the SAT is thinking big with Futurs Antérieurs: a complete takeover of its three floors by over 30 artists, over two entire nights. A major celebration where past, present, and future overlap and are continuously rewritten. The future is already here.
Based in Montréal, France Jobin is a sound artist and composer whose minimalist practice she describes as “sound sculpture,” exploring silence, restraint, and dynamic range to create immersive sonic environments. Working between analog and digital processes, she crafts detailed sound worlds that shift perception and invite deep, focused listening. Her work has been released on influential experimental labels such as LINE, Editions Mego, ROOM40, and ATAK, often drawing inspiration from quantum physics and architectural space. Markus Heckmann is a media artist and Technical Director at Derivative (TouchDesigner), whose practice blends generative visual systems with the physical properties of light. He creates real-time abstract visual environments that respond live to sound and space, existing only in the moment of performance. Together, in Lueurs Quantiques, they explore the paradoxes of antimatter through modular sound and visuals, where collisions-like sonic textures merge with real-time visuals to create a quantum-inspired landscape.
