DRAWINGS / SKETCHES
Mixing live visuals during Dj sets during the digital spring in Montreal
Mixing live video images on DJ beats for massive outdoors projections at the Igloofest Site in the
middle of the Montreal winter. Videotron stage.
After my expression into drawings, my second love is video, I started at university taking video art classes, but that format and the crowd who were going to see video art festival was not where I felt nourished. That happens when Vjing became a thing, when having 4-5 video screens for 2 hours mixing live footage in the moment on Dj music for an eclectic crowd that came to dance and a lot of times where in state influenced by drugs and alcool was where I felt my language was being read well.. Especially at the beginning when it was new and people were excited about it.
I love using video images in a rhythmic editing, mixing animated loops with segment of real life, with video texts, and create a spontaneous poetry with 3, 4 different sources that creates a new meaning of new stylistic language. I always had some type of narrative going. Never completely abstract.. but some type of meaning that works in that context and not necessarily as a stand alone.. it needs the context of music and the night out. Free to look or not.
With time, I move into a love for Djing itself and started to do nights where I not influence the mood visually but create the whole journey of sound
