Initiated by Société des arts technologiques (SAT) and coordinated by Conseil québécois des arts médiatiques (CQAM) with the collaboration of Agence TOPO, OBORO, Labo NT2, Studio XX and Vidéographe, Labsessions take place twice a year in Montréal, ever since 2011. Labsessions aim to support emerging artists working in digital arts, and to give them the opportunity to showcase the work they do. These events are also a networking space for artists, digital art organizations, and for various cultural workers.
