Calepin

Il me fallait un calepin. Un tour dans la haute ville m’a inspiré quelques idées.

Je suis retournée dans l’espace qui donne son nom à ce lieu. Une chambre blanche. Le blanc me donne envie de travailler aussi la lumière. J’espère en avoir le temps. 

Enfin, c’est sérieux, il y aura bientôt des affiches pour le 5à7 d’ouverture de ma résidence dans Québec. Alors, si vous êtes à Québec, le 4 février, faut passer me dire bonjour.

Soldering, 3D printing, laser cutting, Arduino programming, stepper motor testing and automaton testing


It is interesting to listen to 3D printers and laser cutters. They are doing all sort of interesting melodies. Actually the laser cutter sounds like a cello that is played in another room while you are vacuuming. Curious. I like it. It is really interesting to think that the actual shapes you are making are the score. Surely someone already made music with them.

Residency at La Chambre Blanche - day 1

First day in residence à La Chambre Blanche. Staff are really welcoming. I had a more detailed and technical tour with Cédric, the Lab coordinator. So I have even more ideas to add to the long lists of ideas, and things to learn that I already had before coming here. So, I started to work with motors on a piece of metal I cut a few weeks ago.

Robert Jarvis, an artist that I think a lot of, and a friend, told me that I should do a blog during my residency, that it would leave a trace of the process. Well, even if I think that a blog is so 2005, I might follow his advice, just because, well, he plays the trombone. 

Maybe it is un journal de bord?

Well, here it is

Bienvenu à bord!

Arrived at La Chambre Blanche

Today I arrived at La Chambre Blanche and Carol-Ann gave me a quick introduction tour. Exhibition space, lab, workshop and my flat/working space. 

Sorted my stuff in here. Electronics components, bag of motors, audio gears, video gears. Put my flex-a-tone in view with some of my own brewed instruments (flexhelixophone, metal harp). 

Needless to say, it will be inspiring to work here. 

Looking forward to tomorrow, my real first day for this residency.
