Lighthouses

Crossing program residencies between Transcultures (Mons) and LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE (Québec) Virtual residency from April 7 to May 7, 2015 Production residency at Quebec city from May 15 to June 19, 2015 Production residency at Mons in October to November 2015

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE welcomes Quebec digital artist, Alice Jarry, and Belgium creative computer programmer, Vincent Evrard, for the second part of their production work from May 15 to June 19, 2015. This production work started with a first virtual residency in the spring, and will be completed in the fall during the 2015 Transnumériques event in Mons, Belgium. Taking the form of successive residencies between Net (http://viceetversa.tumblr.com/), LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE artist centre (Quebec) and the Transcultures event (Mons), the two artists work on the processes and materials of diffraction (separation of white light in color beams and the reverse). They mix of their practices in order to create a meaningful and connected artwork. From the sound code of the interconnected items to the luminous panoramas of the dichroic glass, the kinetic installation submerges the participants in the pulsating technics of the cinema and the video so that he can emerge in the beat of his own environments /behaviours. Like a ‘’blind date’’ of the senses the “Lighthouses” project presented at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE causes the loss of the usual references of physical locations to recreate networks of objects like so many sensitive lighthouses, true lifebuoys, programmed to comfort and reassure.
