In this age of Digital Everything, a new infrastructure is gradually framing our perception and reconfiguring our experience. With that in mind, "Étant données" brings together art experimentations that digest—not without irony—information systems data and algorithms to generate imagery, using drawing on GPS readings, data from smart watches, material from Google Earth, drones, 3D cameras and printers, Web browsing histories, etc.

This exhibition presents the initial outcomes of a research-creation program codirected by Jean Dubois and Alexandre Castonguay (UQAM), in collaboration with Caroline Bernard, assisted by Nans Bortuzzo, Guillaume Bourdon, Thomas Ouellet Fredericks, André Girard, Damien Guichard, Alice Jarry, Guillaume Pascale, and Sophie Perry.

The research-creation program “Au-delà des images opératoires” is supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture, the UQAM School of Visual and Media Arts, and the centre de recherche en arts médiatiques Hexagram-UQAM Media Arts Research Centre.
