NUIT BLANCHE AT THE PHI CENTRE | SIMULATION/ACCELERATION

A participatory art installation presented as part of the 17th edition of the Nuit blanche à Montréal. Does faster mean stronger?

“Simulation/Acceleration” is a scenic and interactive representation of the infinite cycle of hyperconnectivity, leading to hyperconsumption, and vice versa. Fueled by digital sovereignty and the fear of missing out, our contemporary system accelerates consumption at an exponential rate.

An interactive reflection for the visitor to partake in, over various venues in the Phi Centre. A multi-sensory experience blending digital art, augmented reality, physical objects and green-screen projections. A team of actors wearing digital green suits (Roxane Azzaria, Jobel Simo-Paris, Dorianne Lens-Pitt, Julie Boissonneault, Laurent Simard, Parfaite Ségolène Moussouanga, Elodie Bégin, Pauline Benguigui), interacting with the visitor, embodies this great epic of contemporary frenzy.

Programming:
