Discover our first three XR artworks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a festival presenting cutting-edge audiovisual performances \u2014 works that innovate to create a new language of sound and images \u2014 we have always strived to accompany artists across new boundaries of technology. 2022 opens up a new chapter for MUTEK, marking our first steps as an Extended Reality (XR) content producer. Five artists have stepped up to the challenge of reinventing a past festival performance into an XR artwork.<\/strong> The result is an eclectic yet coherent set of three different XR projects <\/strong>ranging from contemplative to surreal to dynamic: Entanglement XR<\/em> by France Jobin <\/strong>& Markus Heckmann<\/strong>, House of Moir\u00e9<\/em> by Chloe Alexandra Thompson <\/strong>& Matthew Edwards <\/strong>(aesthetic.stalemate), and Immortelle<\/em> by Line Katcho<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by MUTEK <\/strong>on several online content stores, starting with Steam, the Immersive Collection will also join the catalog of<\/strong> Astrea<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> the largest international distributor of immersive productions<\/strong>, and be presented at select festivals and spaces worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entanglement – France Jobin & Markus Heckmann<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Entanglement is a dazzling work that distills quantum physics theories into a swooping sensorial experience<\/strong>. It interprets the concept of entanglement: when two or more particles link up, and no matter how far apart they are in space, their states remain linked. It is an uncanny phenomenon in quantum physics, one that defies explanations.<\/strong>

The piece oscillates between four theories: the fluidity of time, the multiverse, the Copenhagen interpretation and decoherence. These complex notions are translated into a visually and sonically stunning experience guided by science, technology, and the sensitivity needed to illustrate what cannot be visualized. The viewer contemplates these revolving realms, composed of intricate graphics and audio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

France Jobin<\/a>CA\/QC<\/sup> is an audio and installation artist, as well as composer and curator. Markus Heckmann<\/a>DE\/CA<\/sup> is a visual artist and Technical Director at Derivative, the maker of TouchDesigner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We started by asking artists to adapt their work for VR but in the end its not an adaptation, they are like new pieces that will have their own life, three parallel universes that we dive in.”<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

– Alain Mongeau, MUTEK artistic director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House of Moir\u00e9 – Chloe Alexandra Thompson & Matthew Edwards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

House of Moir\u00e9 invites users into a void-like realm, where one\u2019s experience is defined by the curiosity of their eyes and ears. In self-directed exploration<\/strong>, the viewer advances through a succession of rooms dressed in optical patterns, audio-visual programming, and minimalist spatial design<\/strong>. The result is an odd and inquisitive trip through transforming sonic and visual architecture. House of Moir\u00e9 is the culmination of various iterations of Moir\u00e9, a series of A\/V works which employ custom audio software, depth cameras, motion capture, and interactive design principles to investigate psycho-acoustics and sensory illusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chloe Alexandra Thompson<\/a>CA\/US <\/sup>and Matthew Edwards<\/a>US<\/sup> <\/strong>(aka aesthetic.stalemate) are interdisciplinary artists and collaborators. Chloe is a composer and sound designer interested in the physicality of sound and mediation of technology in installation and performance, and Matthew blends installation art, performance and virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I had no idea what I was getting myself into, which is something I like. If I’m in the unknown, I’m happy.”<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

– France Jobin, artist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immortelle – Line Katcho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Immortelle is an atmospheric and figurative work illustrating the flights and falls of psychological endurance.<\/strong> Featuring a cathartic flux of sonic and visual fragments, this unpredictable piece opens a door onto how a mind in internal turmoil redefines the outside world. The viewer travels through different scenes and seasons, paves through evocative empty structures, wades through waves and mountain peaks, encounters a presence in a vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immortelle evokes how visceral perceptions of our environment mirror our own transformations, showing both the softer and fiery sides of a fighter spirit.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line Katcho<\/a><\/strong>CA\/QC<\/sup> is a composer and audiovisual artist primarily interested in sound and image as demonstrations of kinetic matter. Through motion and gestures, she aims at creating a provocative sensory experience, leaving the viewer charged yet liberated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
