For the Montréal en lumière festival’s 17th Nuit blanche, la Société des arts technologiques (SAT) finds a good use for its extensive expertise in immersive and telepresence: being in two places simultaneously!
Telepresence
and projection technologies developed by the SAT make it possible to
merge spaces. You can “teleport” from one floor of the SAT
to the other by immersing yourself in interactive audiovisual works,
including real-time audiovisual performances.
The
opportunities are twofold:
1.
L’effet vert: racing game
Together
with the public, dreamlike interactive scenes will be created by a
video designer. A video inlay process will lead performers and
audiences on both floors to be projected onto the video imagery as
they move through the green space.
2.
Graffiti
numérique :
line of light
Collaborating
with artist Louis-Robert Bouchard, audiences on both floors will be
able to jam on the creation of digital graffiti in a common space.
Rechristened
l’Envers for the occasion, the Espace SAT (ground floor) will be open
to the public free of charge. The invited DJs are Karaba,
Nat Barrera, Odiile Myrtil and Jerico. The VJs are Maylee Keo and
Gold Casanova. Snack are offered at Café SAT.
The
top floor of the SAT (where the Satosphere is located) is bestowed
with the name Vers l’envers, accessible for $10 (at the door only).
Guest DJs are Lis Dalton, DJ Frog, Gene Tellem, Kris Guilty, and
Guillaume Michaud. Visual projections in 360˚ are orchestrated by
Daph4000- and Name. The public gathered on this floor gets treated
to a selection of snacks and cocktails offered by the Culinary Lab.
For
both floors of festivities, telepresence experiences are courtesy of
The Green Effect and Graffiti.
