BIO
Valérie Lamontagne is a digital media designer-artist, theorist and curator researching techno-artistic frameworks that combine human/nonhuman agencies. Looking at the rich practice of performance art, social intervention and interactive installations – she is invested in developing responsive objects (specifically wearables) and interactive media scenarios which interlope the public-at-large, the environment and matter as “performer”.
She is the Founder and Director of 3lectromode, a design group invested in developing wearables which combine D-I-Y technology with current fashion research. Her work has been showcased in festivals, galleries and musuems across Canada, the United States, Central and South America and Europe. She holds a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in visual arts and is presently a Ph.D. candidate at Concordia University investigating “Performativity, Materiality and Laboratory Practices in Artistic Wearables” where she teaches in the Department of Design & Computation Arts.

MATTER + MEMORY - Web Art
MATTER + MEMORY - Web Art
http://www.mobilegaze.com/m+m
MobileGaze, a net art collective, presents a Web exhibition entitled
MATTER + MEMORY - divided into 4 thematic Nodes: Heart, Mind, Soul,
Body. Inspired by Henri Bergson's book, Matter and Memory, in which
the author states that "It is true that an image may be without being
perceived - it may be present without being represented - and the
distance between these two terms, presence and representation, seems
just to measure the interval between matter itself and our conscious
perception of matter." MATTER + MEMORY aims at bridging the chasm
between mind and body via the Web.
MATTER + MEMORY, curated by Valerie Lamontagne, unites 12 online
projects by the following artists: Boredomresearch (UK), Young-Hae
Chang Heavy Industries (South Korea), Gregory Chatonsky (France),
Lisa Cianci (Australia), Eric Deis (Canada), Peter Horvath (Canada),
Jessica Irish (USA), Alice Jarry & Nicholas Lauzon-Timm (Canada),
Waseem Khan (UK), Hidekazu Minami (Japan), Stanza (UK) and Igor
Stromajer (Slovenia). Presented in a specially conceived Web
environment the MATTER+MEMORY site was designed by Brad Todd. Each
thematic Node is accompanied by a theoretical text: Heart Node:
Pierre Robert; Mind Node: Esther Bourdages; Soul Node: Sylvie Parent;
and Body Node: Valerie Lamontagne.
MobileGaze wishes to thank the Canada Council for the Arts and the
Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Quebec.
