Lydia Yakonowsky is a Canadian visual artist and economist whose work links the analytical with the existential. Drawing inspiration from the semantics of statistical models — points, curves, grids — she uses these elemental structures as building blocks to create abstract visual worlds. These compositions, which she calls “existential graphs,” explore the human experience through an aesthetic rooted in data visualization. By recontextualizing the symbols of measurement and prediction, Lydia transforms analytical tools into poetic forms that question our place in the world and the systems we use to understand it.
A multidisciplinary new media artist collective founded in 2022 by Hashem Ali, Danila Sergienko and Johan Vagstedt. A collaboration between a visual artist, an electronic musician and a poet. We are explorers of human perception, at the junction of abstract and interactive sounds, interpreted through minimalist visual aesthetics.
Guillaume Bourassa, a multifaceted explorer—of music (FROID), painting, print, and digital audio/video art (Création Ex Nihilo)—has been pursuing a rich artistic journey for over two decades. His artistic approach, deeply rooted in the exploration of the Line, manifests in many forms: straight, in motion, in vibration, in texture, in absence, in limitation, in impact, in exaggeration, in multiplicity, in path, in direction, and in purpose. This quest for the line as a central element of his artistic vision allows him to create a universe where expression transcends absurdity, repetition, or formula.
