DIGITAL BLOCK PARTY | MAPP_MTL 2023 FESTIVAL

From September 28 to 30, the Digital Block Party returns for its 8th edition! A festive program of projection mapping, electronic music performances, food stalls and local merchants in a neighborhood party atmosphere!

From September 13 to October 7, 2023 from 8pm to 11pm at Maison Nivard-De Saint-Dizier, museum and archaeological site, come and discover Leilani & Teo's projection mapping work 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.

𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 is an ode to Haudenosaunee way of life and a celebration of the original stewards of the land. By sharing traditions, songs, and deep connection with nature, the projection mapping project aims to foster appreciation, understanding, and respect for Indigenous cultures. It serves as a reminder that the wisdom passed down through generations is invaluable, and it is our collective responsibility to honor and preserve it for the generations to come.

▪Leilani Shaw is Mohawk of Kahnawà:ke and a member of the Turtle clan. Her work is a contemporary take on traditional Mohawk and Haudenosaunee tales, giving new life to legends handed down for hundreds of years. Using aspects of surrealism, she integrates the details and meanings of the legends into works of art for all to enjoy.

▪TEO is a multidisciplinary visual artist, originally from Toulouse and now based in Montreal. His style is defined through dynamic, benevolent creations linking exaggerated characters and abstract landscapes. Through muralism, projection mapping and installation, TEO turns public space into a real playground for exploration.

This project was made possible with the financial support of the Gouvernement du Québec and the Ville de Montréal as part of the Entente de développement culturel de Montréal.

In a world where cities increasingly need to animate civic life, how can their collaborations with cultural entrepreneurs be vectors of impact?

Moderated by none other than Jenny Thibault, Executive Director of the Société des Arts Technologiques, we welcome to the table Marie-Odile Melançon, Division Manager - Cultural Development Support at the Ville de Montréal, Gonzalo Soldi, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Mirari, Martin Laviolette, Executive Producer and General Manager at Montréal en Histoires, and Pierre-Olivier Bontems, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Manager at Zù.

Join us on September 27 at 3:30 p.m. at Mila, 6650 St-Urbain!

-MODERATOR: Jenny Thibaut - Society for Arts and Technology (SAT)
After studying cinema and anthropology, Jenny quickly branched out into cultural event production. She worked on a number of Quebec festivals before co-founding the award-winning FME in 2003 in her hometown, an event she has grown with over the years.  In 2004, she joined the NFB in project marketing, where she contributed to the growth and international influence of the first interactive works and installations and its dedicated studios. In 2017, she took the helm of RPM, which became Xn Québec under her leadership. In less than 5 years, she has strategically repositioned this association to federate and represent the entire Quebec digital creativity sector. Since 2021, she has been General Manager of the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), a mandate in line with her career path.

-Gonzalo Soldi - Co-founder and Creative Director Mirari
With his eclectic background, Gonzalo has always been interested in luminous and tangible mediums of expression. His approach began with his architectural studies in Peru, which he left in 2003 to settle in Montreal and further his work on sensitivity and perception in the performing arts. Whether as performer or designer, he has been collaborating on the creation of circus, theater and dance shows for the past ten years. With the founding of Mirari in 2015, he is committed to making culture accessible to as many people as possible by taking the performing arts out of their box. He has since been exploring public art installations and augmented scenography for large-scale events.

-Marie-Odile Melançon is currently Head of the Cultural Development Support Division at the Ville de Montréal. 
With the Service de la culture for over twenty years, she has held a variety of positions and worked on a number of files, including the maisons de la culture network, cultural mediation, inclusion and diversity, cultural statistics and indicators, and cultural vitality in neighbourhoods. She holds a master's degree in urban studies from the Institut national de recherche scientifique du Québec, and has participated in a number of studies, notably on cultural citizenship, cultural recreation, governance issues in cultural neighbourhoods, as well as various partnerships and strategic planning to support the city's interventions in support of cultural development throughout Montreal.

-Martin Laviolette is a dynamic entrepreneur who has participated in the creation of several organizations and projects of significance to his community in the fields of culture, technological arts, tourism and sustainable and social development.

His sense of innovation, entrepreneurial vision and leadership have led him to bring to fruition mobilizing and unifying projects in the cultural, municipal and corporate milieus. These include the 19 editions of the FestiBlues International de Montréal, then Montréal en Histoires, for which he is responsible for the organization's deployment and general management, as well as the production of Cité Mémoire, a series of projections presenting the history of Montreal. 

Martin Laviolette is also the founder of the ideation and production agency H2Emotion. Every day, he applies his experience in consultation, partnership and fund-raising to his varied mandates, helping to bring small and large ideas to fruition.

-Pierre-Olivier Bontems, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Manager
After simultaneously paving his way as an elite athlete (Canadian fencing champion and international referee), an engineer-consultant working in the fields of bioeconomy, sustainable development and open innovation (EnVertis and Natural Resources Canada), and co-founder of a start-up providing educational services and international training (Global Fencing Masters), Pierre-Olivier Bontems is now mobilizing all his know-how to the benefit of the growth of high-impact projects in Quebec's innovation ecosystem.

As head of incubation at Zú, he draws his motivation from accompanying dozens of talented entrepreneurs in achieving their goals, supporting the development of their services, products or technological solutions through all stages of the startup life cycle.

We are delighted to announce that the MAPP_MTL 2023 festival will present YOSHIROTTEN's 𝘚𝘖𝘓𝘌𝘐𝘓 (𝘚𝘜𝘕) in the Quartier des spectacles, a first in Canada, thanks to the support of the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan! 

𝘚𝘖𝘓𝘌𝘐𝘓 (𝘚𝘜𝘕) is a representative work by YOSHIROTTEN, an artist and art director whose activities span art, design and music in Japan and around the world. It consists of 365 images of the silver sun reflecting the colors of its surroundings, drawn day by day during the year of the pandemic. Colored by hand, with digital tools rather than automatically generated, each "SUN" has a different, unique feel: a blend of sci-fi worldview and universality, expressing the transition of things and seasons. Each "SUN" can be interpreted as a view or a time that exists only at that moment.

WORKSHOP P4BUS

Discover the P4BUS workshop - Better protect, publicize and earn income from your works by choosing the right distribution tools and avoiding certain pitfalls.

In collaboration with Mila - Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle, come and listen to Simon Demeule, researcher in deep learning at Mila, Julien Coll, interim co-director of the Centre de développement et de recherche en intelligence numérique - CDRIN, Alex Boya, digital visual artist at the NFB, and Patrice Puiberneau, professor of imaging at École NAD - UQAC. Moderated by none other than Pia Baltazar, philosopher and Research Director of the Société des Arts Technologiques, we will reflect on "Augmented Creation: How AI is profoundly transforming digital artistic expression, tools and perception".

MODERATOR 
-Pia Baltazar is an intermedia composer and SAT's new Director of Research. With a triple background in engineering, art philosophy and musical composition, her artistic and technological research approach has been developing for over twenty years at the intersection of interactive design and artistic production. Passionate about the development of open source digital tools for intermedia creation, she has been coordinating the ossia.io initiative for over fifteen years. Through the development of these tools, she is particularly interested in the question of temporal writing, interaction and intermedia orchestration. More generally, her research interests focus on the expressive possibilities of intersensoriality and the embodied character of the creative process. With this in mind, his long-term research program for SAT is aimed at producing collaborative tools for immersive and collective artistic creation, particularly in telepresence.

-Alex Boya, having worked for a decade with the NFB's English Animation Program and Interactive Studio as director, researcher and consultant, is an expert in "Genomic Expressionism". His innovative method of animation, called "reverse data collection", fuses hand-drawn drawings and data-driven processes to visualize the genome of human expression in the artistic pursuit of meaningful representations. Through depth-aware interpolation, Boya facilitates a coevolution between hand-drawn sketches and AI algorithms, pushing the boundaries of AI-guided art and promoting human-machine interaction. His expertise in mentoring budding filmmakers, supporting interdisciplinary projects and amplifying understanding of animation and immersive media fuels his recent exploration of ethical generative AI in the creative arts and applications.

-Patrice Puiberneau has been a director of photography and lighting designer for over 30 years. A graduate of École NAD-UQAC, specializing in Digital Image Composition, he has been teaching there since 2018. Patrice received the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE) Award of Excellence with the Université du Québec in 2002. From an early age, he was fascinated by photography, light and space. Attracted by technology, he developed a passion for digital imaging in the early 1990s with Alias and 3ds Max software. Cameraman then DOP at Radio-Canada, he captures images for several productions, including the documentary series *Découvertes*. As a journalist-cameraman, he covered news for NBC, CBC, CTV, Bell Media and Reuters (among others). At NAD, he perfects creative techniques with AI to develop innovative visual concepts and techniques with this creative medium.

-Julien Coll: After a bachelor's degree in audio-visual studies and 7 years as a technical artist in the games and animation industry, Julien joined CDRIN to push his curiosity further. He held a position as Research and Innovation Advisor, which enabled him to keep in touch with innovations in the sector and help the industry push its boundaries. He now holds the position of interim co-CEO. He is involved in a number of initiatives in the entertainment sector, including the Siggraph Montreal chapter, events such as MIGS and CAFÉ, and entertainment innovation committees.

-Simon Demeule is an interdisciplinary artist and master's student in artificial intelligence at Mila, Université de Montréal. He has a background in interactive arts and music, and also pursued a bachelor's degree in computer science applied to the arts at Concordia University. His work has been shown and awarded both here and abroad, at the Mozilla Festival 2021 in Amsterdam, the MURAL Festival 2022 in Montreal, and the Watersprite Film Festival 2023 in Cambridge, UK. Iel is particularly interested in how AI intersects with art, both in the way it challenges our conception of art and creativity, and in the way this technology enables us to create new artistic experiences.

MAPP_MTL is looking for an intern to help us with the cultural and social enrichment of the impact our festival can have on the Montreal region. The intern will provide organizational, communicative and logistical support to MAPP_MTL and contribute to the growth of our professional relationships formed over the 8 years of MAPP_MTL's existence. 

By assisting MAPP_MTL's administrative core while expanding its collaborative horizons, this internship will facilitate significant symbiotic growth between the artists, cultural organizations and patrons with whom MAPP_MTL has already or will be forging ties.

-Follow all stages of MAPP_MTL's cultural projects and activities
-Communicate with arts professionals, at their discretion, within the framework of MAPP_MTL's mandate, for the pre-existing objectives of MAPP_MTL's administration, for MAPP_MTL's marketing and development objectives, and for the intern's own interests in expanding their professional network in Montreal.
-Coordinate, between MAPP_MTL and all relevant partners and collaborators, the logistical production of various events throughout the year to ensure their success, making good use of their experiential knowledge of event coordination, as well as the knowledge passed on to them by MAPP_MTL members.
-Research and develop new avenues of artistic collaboration that MAPP_MTL had not previously considered or been able to pursue, by applying its innovative mentality and culturally diverse perspective, not only to broaden the potential social impact of MAPP_MTL's activities, but also to exhilarate all its collaborators in order to generate a positive chain reaction throughout Montreal's cultural arts and technology milieu.
-Software management and configuration (mainly ticketing)
-Coordinate the technical needs and practices of artists & partners
-Help ensure the smooth running of events on site in Montreal.

MICRO_MAPP
From September 29, 2023 to March 16, 2024 at Age of Union. A work by Mélanie O'Bomsawin "Là où se pose la lumière"

"Là où se pose la lumière" is a series of micro-projections on stone exploring the persistence of memory in the form of light. For the W8banakiak (Abenaki) people, stones are the bearers of memory, enabling us to perceive the stories of those who were there before, and pass them on to future generations. In the exhibition, the use of light reveals and illuminates the richness hidden in the mineral memory of the stones collected by the artist, while allowing us to reflect on our relationship with the environment.

Publisher, new media artist, tinkerer, geek and video artist, Mélanie O'Bomsawin (elle) works with video in all its forms. Through installations, screenings and documentaries, she explores her connection with artists past and those to come. Questions of identity, memory and knowledge transfer are central to her practice. Mélanie is of W8banaki (Abenaki) and Québécois descent, and lives in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyaang/Montréal.
