Based in Montréal, new media artist Josée Brouillard explores the various ways in which images can be presented through light. Currently a master’s candidate at Université du Québec à Montréal, she holds a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Concordia University and two college degrees, in theatre production and photography. Her artistic practice offers spectators a visual experience that differs from mainstream technologies; a fan of low-fi and DIY, she builds her own instruments, dismantling or modifying devices and electronic components in order to transform their output. She presented works in Québec (OBORO, Ada X, Biennale internationale d’art numérique, Eastern Bloc, La Bande Vidéo and in many Maisons de la culture) and abroad, namely at the InShadow Festival in Lisbon, Portugal. Her artwork Video Sequence for Prepared Monitor (2013) is part of the city of Montréal’s permanent collection.
