Story Time: Peau d’\u00e2ne
\nSaturday, September 29, 2007, at 3:00 pm
\nas part of the Journ\u00e9es de la culture<\/p>\n

From the Charles Perrault fairy tale Peau d’\u00e2ne, Val\u00e9rie
\nLamontagne draws on the motif of three fabulous dresses: one
\nmade out of moonbeams, one as warm and bright as the sun
\nabove and one cut out of the sky itself. Using innovative technologies
\nand working with experienced collaborators, the artist has
\ncreated three interactive dresses that react in real-time to atmospheric
\nvariations transmitted by a weather station installed on
\nOBORO’s roof. The colours of the moon dress vary according to
\nthe moon cycles; the illumination of the sun dress corresponds
\nto the intensity of the sun’s rays; and the sky dress swells and
\nmoves depending on the patterns of the wind. By making use
\nof climate conditions in this manner, Peau d’\u00e2ne addresses with
\nan apparently banal subject matter, but one that hides valuable
\nclues to our modes of cultural and social exchange. A multitude
\nof performance possibilities emerge from these wearables,
\nwhich bridge the worlds of fairy tales and technology.
\nAt the opening, three dancers will wear the interactive dresses
\nand mingle with the gallery public. The dresses will also animate
\nthe reading of Perrault’s fairy-tale Peau d’\u00e2ne, presented by the
\nartist for the Journ\u00e9es de la culture.<\/p>\n
