Field Fiction

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE welcomes French artist Laurent Di Biase within the framework of France-Quebec exchange program, Géographies Variables, for a Lab Web residency from April 18th to June 2nd 2013. Laurent Di Biase works on the frontiere of media arts and experimental music by drawing from the immediate sound environnement. Within an approach of improvised composition appearing gradually from aleatory sound elements arised from the invested space, the artist generates performative interventions fed as much by the unpredictable sound ambiance, as by the physical context of the space itself. Photographic and sound archives of these performances witness of a spontaneous creative momentum, tightly related, from one side, to the geographical location of the space; and, from the other, to the particular interaction between the artist and the viewers. For his residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, Laurent Di Biase offers to approch the web space as a new venue for streaming performances. Throughout a collection of extra-muros interventions, the artist aims to trace the portait of Quebec City and its citizens as a multimedia geographical map.
