The PAN M 360 team is criss-crossing the entire MUTEK 2024 program, picking up as many artists as possible during this 25th edition of its Montreal version. Keep up with our experts until Sunday evening, as no other MUTEK event promises such extensive media coverage!
On this Tuesday evening, the first of the Nocturne series in the context of MUTEK 2024, four short works are featured in a single program, courtesy of Lydia Yakonowsky (CA/QC), Allison Moore (CA/QC), Nora Gibson (US/QC) and the tandem Jules Roze & Pablo Geeraert (FR/QC+BE/QC).
To be worn on your back as you gaze up at the virtual sky. These productions are in the vein of generative art and photogrammetry. They transform banal signs into plastic forms, grouping them into subtle moving patterns, inventing organisms and bringing them to life, observing them as we do the seabed or the Milky Way, but with a little more LSD!
The sound design is immersive and diverse, ranging from ambient and electronic noise to American minimalism, neoclassicism, ethereal wave and krautrock. Generally in very good taste, each of these works has its own distinctive style, and each goes beyond the stylistic exercise to offer more sensory diversity than some of the disembodied displays of special effects that can also be seen here.
