Immersive installation with esoteric connotations which invites users to explore a mysterious room where occult imagery gradually reveals interactions with ritual, symbolic and magical aspects.

I worked on the sound design and the programming of 3 DMX spotlights in this project. For the sound design, I used TouchDesigner that communicated with the software AbletonLive. My goal was to create ambiance music and feedback sounds that guided clearly the actions of users. On page 20 of our documentation guide below, you can see my creative process for constructing ambient music to immerse participants in the esoteric realm we’ve envisioned.

For the lighting, the 3 spots DMX that were used had a 13 channel address each, which allowed me to experiment with light transitions in the different states of the installation : idle, one station activated, two stations activated, three stations activated and generative. I was also in charge of the cable management of our space in order to incorporate the technology within our decor, to create an immersive surrounding.

I was stage manager, assistant to the technical director and visual performer (VJ) on the project.

As a stage manager, I developed a Cues Interface in Touch Designer in order to coordinate the technical team (light, sound and projection directors) for the transitions of the performances throughout the happening on March 8th. On the button below, it is possible to access in detail how the Cues interface was programmed for interactive media needs, inspired by existing cue sheet models used in theater.

As the assistant to the technical director, I contributed to planning the event assembly schedule and set daily goals during the week leading up to the event. This included tasks such as transporting equipment to a designated room before the event, organizing shifts to monitor equipment in the Agora both in the mornings and evenings prior to the event, assisting with the guidelines related to security requirements, and coordinating the presence of team members for the reception and return of rented equipment.

In terms of my creative contribution, I designed the voiceovers that introduced each performance on March 8th, 2025. I recorded one sentence per performance, crafted as a poetic description to announce the beginning of each performance or to provide a clear transition in the middle, identifying which performance was starting. The sentences were written by Marian Godbout, the Artistic Director of Exotopie. I also created and performed live visuals for the Orage performance, which took place at 7:20 pm on March 8th, 2025.

In general, when I completed my tasks, I assisted with cable management and made sure that roles were assigned to each member of our team to ensure the smooth running of the evening in close collaboration with Chloé Bouffard, specialized in Stratégie de production.
