Un regard sur la vidéo

Fall 2002

[In French] Comme son titre l’indique, le dossier propose un balayage sur les différentes approches de la vidéo. Il nous importait dans ces pages de faire un retour en arrière pour souligner le travail des artistes et des organismes qui, au Québec et ailleurs, ont œuvré sans relâche pour donner à la vidéo la place qu’elle occupe aujourd’hui.

Immersion

Winter 2026

This issue is interested in all forms of immersion in contemporary art. How are artists critically engaging with immersive technologies? Conversely, what kinds of practices are challenging technology in their pursuit of immersion? How are these experiences breaking down the boundaries between spectator, body, and art? We put forward proposals that rely on listening and sustained attention rather than on amplification and sensory overload – works using devices that are sometimes relatively simple and non-invasive, sometimes a little more elaborate, but in which participation is, with a few nuances, neither passive nor devoid of critical thinking.
