ÅZGRMS La Grande Écoute Series
For a third consecutive year, the GRMS (Groupe De Recherche Sur La Médiatisation Du Son), in collaboration with Hexagram, has joined forces with the SMCQ and matralab and presents the series La Grande Écoute, during the MNM (Montreal New Music) festival.
This series is made up of three events centered around the theme of MNM 2021 Beyond Borders highlighting the research-creation of GRMS members, including Hexagram members.
Retake
Hexagram co-researchers and student members present at an event organized as part of La nuit des idées.
When: Thursday, January 28, 2021 from 2:20pm to 5:50pm
Where: Hexagram's Youtube Channel & www.reprisedevues.org
As part of the 2021 La nuit des idées, for which the theme is “Closer”, a distributed, transatlantic, multi-site and networked apparatus will be activated to discuss, visit an exposition (Matières d'image and the artwork Fossilisation, during Hors-Pistes Festival , Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris), and discover research-creation practices that interrogate, from environmental and societal perspectives, the materiality of images and of interfaces that can bring us closer. In addition to formal discussions, the event will include video capsules and integrate a resolutely performative format, anchored in action, making, and demo, and that from the very locations of creation and dissemination (Centre Pompidou, Paris; Speculative Life Biolab, Milieux Institute, Concordia University).
Past events
The activities of the Hexagram network aim to stimulate collaborations between the members. They are initiated by a group comprising at least two co-applicant members and allow the initiating groups to create a situation of exchange and collaboration with other regular members, students or collaborators as well as with local and international non-member researchers.
The Hexagram network supports projects in various forms. The more classical forms of academic activities such as conferences, symposium and artist residencies are well represented in the programming and constitute a way of sharing knowledge with academic researchers as well as pulic in general . In a more direct approach, the Hexagram network also supports various workshops to disseminate creative process and techniques in new media and technological arts.
Through its association with Leonardo / The International Society for the Arts, Science and Technology (Leonardo / ISAST), the Hexagram network organizes L.A.S.E.R. Hexagram-Montreal (Leonardo Art and Science Evening Meeting). The network also assists member research groups to leave the Quebec university environment in order to disseminate the knowledge and innovations generated by research and creation in local and international venues through a series of activities called HEXA_OUT . All activities contribute to Hexagram network's mission.
