not actually on this date and time, you need to make your own res

Installation art-science créée par Sofian Audry qui explore la sentience informatique et biologique à travers une boucle de rétroaction reliant un réseau neuronal artificiel à une colonie de micro-algues, générant un alphabet vivant spéculatif. L'alphabet émerge via un processus morphogénétique itératif : le réseau neuronal projette un glyphe sur une boîte de pétri, les micro-organismes attirés par la lumière se rapprochent de la forme agissant comme substrat photographique vivant, l'image capturée est renvoyée au réseau qui génère un nouveau glyphe. Présentée aux échelles micro, méso et macro, l'installation stimule curiosité et imagination. Les visiteurs observent une forme singulière de communication entre agences biologiques et computationnelles. L'œuvre invite le public à repenser le langage, la perception, la signification et la sentience sous un angle non anthropocentrique. Collaborateurs : Biologiste Nishad Jayasundara, Assistants Etienne Montenegro (code, électronique, fabrication), Guillaume Cramoisan (fabrication), Matthew Loewen (code), Ian Donnelly (biologie), Brynn Yarbrough (biologie).

Art
Jérôme Nadeau will present his solo show A GOOD SLEEPER. The paintings in the exhibition were developed through multiple phases. Images shift and transform from one state to another: drawings and photographs are digitized, compressed, translated into sound, then reconverted, printed, altered, scanned, and digitally reconfigured before being screen-printed at the limits of legibility. The works do not seek to illustrate or stabilize, but to probe what wavers: blurred thresholds of perception, zones of noise, surfaces shaped by error and uncertainty.

Carrefour is opening on Wednesday, April 8th with histamine, Shahan Assadourian's first solo exhibition. Located in Family's former gallery space on Laurier West, Carrefour is the brainchild of Sophie présente and Family. The show brings together an entirely new body of work that investigates Shahan's previous exploration of infection, emotional freedom, and cuteness overload.

Vernissage: Dreamed Her Badly by Arta Ajeti

Art
In her first solo exhibition, Arta Ajeti presents a new body of intimate graphite drawings based on a personal archive of photographic references. Feminine figures appear in shadowy, dreamlike scenes populated by wrecked cars, theatrical curtains, static-filled screens, stairwells, storm clouds, and ornamental surfaces, where glamour and decay sit in uneasy proximity. Using graphite, Ajeti pushes the image toward both clarity and breakdown, creating works suspended between memory, fantasy, and desire.
