Montreal Cultural Calendar

Join Marion Schneider for the presentation of her project carried out as part of her residency at Ada X from February 3 to March 27, 2026. Common Ground is a research-creation project that explores how digital art can become a space for improvisation, shared attention, and collaboration between humans, machines, plants, and fungi. At the crossroads of queer ecology, neuroscience, and media arts, it questions our ways of thinking about intelligence and seeks to decenter the anthropocentric perspective. The symbiotic audiovisual performance tool that Marion is working on uses EEG (electroencephalogram) brain signals, biosignals from lichens and mosses, and local artificial intelligence to generate images and sounds in real time. Discussion starts at 7pm and is facilitated by Dounia Bouzidi (in French). The event is free and open to all. Snacks and drinks will be served. Contact info@ada-x.org to register. [talk]
