Creative Coding Barcelona with Myriam Bleau presents "My instruments are learning me back"

By Creative Coding Barcelona

The Generative Art Museum presented a new edition of Creative Coding Barcelona with Myriam Bleau, who presented "My instruments are learning me back". In the talk examined her approach towards audiovisual performances, custom gestural interfaces, multidisciplinarity, and horizontal collaborations. Technology was discussed both in terms of its material presentation in performance — hardware and software — and as a recurrent thematic motif in her practice: digital narcissism, critical AI, virtual and physical avatars, and tech as prosthetic.

Myriam Bleau is a composer, digital artist and performer based in Montréal. Using music and sound as a point of departure, she has created gestural electronic music performances, audiovisual interfaces, installations and interactive devices that articulate sound, light, movement and symbols. Her work investigates performance, both as a codified cultural manifestation, and as an embodied (re)enactment of symbolic systems through human and non-human agencies. It has been recognized and presented internationally, in festivals such as Prix Ars Electronica (AT), Sónar (ES, HK), MUTEK (MX, CA, AR, JP), ISEA (CA, KR), Transmediale (DE) and Todays' Art (NL).
