The Archiver le Présent Collective, in collaboration with the Canada Research Chair in Digital Arts and Literatures, the Lab NT2 and the Faculté des arts UQAM, are proud to launch the online exhibition 𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑.
𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 is intended to evolve over time in form and content. At present, it gathers eighteen hypermedia artworks available online since the beginning of the 21st century. Ranging from 2006 to the present, the works by various artists and collectives provide an overview of our digital condition, and its resulting issues evolving over time.
Let’s meet online on June 17, from 5 PM, for the launch of 𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 and a live discussion with two of the artists of the exhibition: Baron Lanteigne and Nans Bortuzzo. Following the discussion, be the first to see their video works commissioned especially for 𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑.

The online exhibition 𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 aims to capture our prevailing impulse to search in the digital age.
𝚁𝚎|𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 focuses on how artistic, literary, and cultural practices reflect on and interfere with this technological pervasiveness. How do these practices allow us to think about widespread data management, online research methods, and tools? What types of alternative actions and stories do they offer? By what means do they occupy the very place of these concerns: the Web?
