Labo 2021 presents Véro Marengère: Proximity and Touch in Sound and Video Art

“This talk will show that the sensation of sonic proximity is more important than ever in th conceptualization and production of video and sound art pieces. More specifically, we will look at its presence in both of these practices, as well as our own practice as composers."

Véro Marengère is an emerging audiovisual artist and researcher based in Montreal. She creates artworks that evoke ecosophy and digital intimacy and promote rebthinking pop culture. Inspired by everyday objects, technological cultures, the digital divide phenomenon
and human voice, her work takes a critical yet playful and sensitive approach to video and music making.

Véro Marengère is currently a graduate student in the digital music program at the Faculty of Music of the Université de Montréal, where she is studying with Myriam Boucher articulating a new materialist and haptic framework for video artwork. She is a teacher’s assistant (Stereophonic Recording and Sound Systems) as well as a workshop designer of the Canadian national digital literacy project Alphanumérique.
