Covers the making of the multicolored magazine for technological arts, Melba, edited by Claudine Eizykman and in which Guy Fihman, Dominique Willoughby, among others, were active participants, with 5 issues published between 1976 and 1979....

TIME ZONE is a tapestry of colliding and interfering sounds, photographs and clips, for the most part recorded on the Alaska and TransCanada Highways between the Rockies and the Pacific. From one time zone to another, it explores the relations and co...

A squared multiplication. Made with Telidon, a Canadian videotex system that was in use in the 1980s. Although its primary function was to transmit textual and illustrative information, this system has been used by a number of Canadian artists as a ...

The filmed image is liberated from the shackles of representation of an external reality, becoming autonomous and spatial; the sound drifts and is regenerated by its asyncronous but nevertheless intimate relation to the image. Here, the sound is not ...

The base sequence of Iris is a constructed cycle of coloured events followed by its copy chromatically inverted though a non compliant lab process. This sequence is then again copied-inverted, and so forth, each new sequence generating in turn the ne...

Fusion is a single sequence even if it is composed of several hundred elements, a single continuity, even if it is multiple....

Surfaces speaks about continuity, it is a single rhythmic plane which is sustained by music. The best commentary on it is related to a phrase from Georges Petrix: What is the meaning of form, color, material? Why is it there? If it's only to make som...
