Illumine Baie-Saint-Paul x SAT

You are invited on December 8th and 9th to co-create digital graffiti at the Christmas markets of Baie-St-Paul and Quebec City. As part of the Illumine Baie-Saint-Paul festival, the activity will allow you to create ephemeral murals measuring 6 meters high by 18 meters wide right in the heart of these cities!

Whether you are in Baie-Saint-Paul or in Quebec City, you will be able to create drawings that will be projected in real time on a building façade. A live drawing device, co-developed by Interférences, arts et technologies and artist Louis-Robert Bouchard, will allow you to explore the art of digital graffiti with the help of an aerosol can equipped with sensors that reproduce the effect of the paint thanks to video projection.

The Baie-Saint-Paul and Quebec City murals will be superimposed to create a single common work. The public will also be filmed and will appear in projection under the common creation. Thanks to the telepresence device Scenic conceived by the Society for Arts and Technology, this participative and interactive work will connect the audiences of both cities.

About Scenic

Scenic is a new telepresence video collaboration tool that allows artists and arts presenters to meet, create and broadcast performances in multiple locations simultaneously.

Telepresence connects distant places via the Internet and promotes real-time encounters and interactions between them. Through an immersive installation, one place can feel like an extension of the other. Distant groups can see and talk to each other as if they were in the same space. Applied to the performing arts, telepresence offers the possibility of creating a connected and distributed work between different venues to link distant artists and audiences.

About Illumine Baie-Saint-Paul

From December 2 to 11, ILLUMINE BAIE-SAINT-PAUL will take place on St-Jean-Baptiste Street every evening at dusk. This event takes place in parallel with the traditional Baie-Saint-Paul Christmas Market. The facades of the heritage buildings will come to life thanks to works that will be projected in mapping. Baie-Saint-Paul will become an open-air exhibition where it will be a pleasure to stroll around at nightfall.
