LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is pleased to welcome Andrée-Anne Blacutt for a research residency from February 27, 2017 to February 27, 2018. In our laboratories, Blacutt will work on the design of a sound assistance device for people with hearing impairments. Subsequently, her project will lead to an inclusive use, thus open to the community.

Sound has always been significant for Andrée-Anne Blacutt. During her master's degree in visual arts, she developed tapestries where visual and sound narrative was very present. The narrative plot played like a story built around an imaginary world rooted in the daily and the intimate. Moreover, she also has a practice of documentary filmmaking that allows her to maintain a sensitivity about sound and the research of authenticity.

In her approach, Blacutt considers sensory experience as fundamental. The idea of creating a wearable assistive technology creates a relationship with space and time that gives access to a unique experience.

This research is part of the artist's doctoral studies at the Faculty of Music of Laval University. Andrée-Anne Blacutt invites Québec's deafness community to share and discuss about this research project.

Andrée-Anne Blacutt lives and works in Quebec City. She is a PhD candidate in adaptive arts and technology at Université Laval and student-researcher at CIRRIS. The processes of sensory perception are at the heart of her research. She completed a master’s degree in visual arts based on a visual and sound narrative system about tapestry metaphor. Since 2001, Blacutt has been presenting projects that multiply the layout of the human being. Theatre, painting, design, television and music are her fields of creation.

Design Fiction Evening

“Design Fiction, as a discursive practice, pushes for speculative scenarios that can be envisaged as a means to stimulate debates about societal questions. Indeed, Design Fiction is able to foster a certain pluralism of visions that necessarily have to co-exist among a public policy-making process.“*

As part of a research residency in art and science, LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE welcomes the artist Andrée-Anne Blacutt from February 27, 2017 to February 27, 2018. In continuity with this project, we want to invite the public to an evening of Design Fiction to be held on December 7 at 6:30pm.

The public will be invited to live scenarios that will provoke impressions, questions and other emotions. Thereafter, there will be a discussion period. The purpose of the evening is to stimulate reflection in relation to the position of the pedestrian. Finally, the information gathered about each one's experience will be used in Andrée-Anne Blacutt's research project.

The artist has prepared two scenarios. One will be in the manner of Alfred North Whitehead** and the other in the manner of Michael Jackson. The purpose of these two scenarios will be to compare the context and put the pedestrian status into perspective.

This research project is part of her PhD at the Faculty of Music at Université Laval with the support of the caisse d’économie solidaire.

**Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) is a philosopher and algebraist. He published Process and Reality in 1929, but it's his book Concept de Nature published in 1920 that will guide the artist's literary performance during the Design Fiction evening that alternates between English, Spanish and French. The artist will verbalize her thought vertically on the perception of nature by adding her reading notes.
