De-construct with Line Katcho

Biennale Chroniques 2024, Marseille

At Friche Belle de Mai – Opening show – Nov 7. 2024

In partnership with Molior

Immersed in darkness, sound and images intertwine in a hypnotic dance. Landscapes, figures, and geometries deconstruct and reconstruct, drawing spectators into an immersive universe where the boundaries between sound and image dissolve. De-construct defies all spatial and temporal logic, offering viewers a trans-hypnotic experience. The artistic duo France Jobin and Line Katcho craft sonic and visual landscapes that oscillate between captivating harmonies and chaotic dissonances.

Entanglement AV at Sonica 2024

Entanglement AV at Tramway on September 21st 2024

At the quantum level, the rules of physics break down and certainties dissolve: particles appear able to exist in two places at once, behave differently whether observed or ignored, and influence one another across incredible distances. France Jobin and Markus Heckmann’s immersive work draws on cutting-edge quantum theory, setting prismatic visualisations of impossible realities – micro and macro – to a gradually intensifying drone that captures the towering cosmic awe occasioned when the most minute processes in nature challenge us to rethink everything we think we know.

Entanglement Dome at SAT

From September 3rd to 7th, experience France Jobin and Markus Heckmann’s live performance of their work Entanglement: Dome. 

This piece explores the concept of entanglement: when two or more particles are connected, their states remain linked, no matter the distance between them. It’s a strange phenomenon of quantum physics that defies explanation.

Performing for only 5 nights, the project will then be presented as a film in the Satosphere starting September 17th.

Live performance: September 3rd to 7th
Film format: starting September 17th

Propagation of uncertainty – Residency and concert

March 4th – March 31st – Residency at AIR-Artist in residence

Concert March 27th 2024 at Salon Krenek,
 

“In the ethereal realm of electronic soundscapes, the Buchla100 becomes not just an instrument but a vessel through which uncertainty finds expression. This performance is an exploration of the delicate dance between structured composition and the unforeseen, a sonic journey that mirrors the very essence of uncertainty itself.” France Jobin

Entanglement dome at the Zeiss Planetarium

Québec soirée – An event of the Berlin Planetarium fondation in cooperation with SAT – La société des arts technologiques et l’Antenne du Québec à Berlin.

Entanglement is a multi-work project that daringly fuses scientific inquiry and creative vision, by delving into the profound realm of quantum physics and artistic performance. 

Based on the collaborative and colliding minds of artists France Jobin and Markus Heckmann, Entanglement finds its inspiration in the intricate theories of quantum entanglement, notably the Copenhagen interpretation and the multiverse (quantum decoherence). Beyond these theories, the project is further enriched – and challenged – by exploring the fluidity of time and the enigmatic principle of quantum entanglement. 

Three iterations have been created, the original Entanglement AV performance (2021), Entanglement XR (2022), and Entanglement Dome (2023), designed to emancipate the audience from the constraints of conventional time. Participants are invited to lose themselves in this boundless expanse of creativity, where the borders between reality and imagination dissolve, leaving them suspended in time and in a state of wonder. 

Entanglement Dome at SAT during Mutek 24

France Jobin and Markus Heckmann will present Entanglement dome at SAT

August 26th 2023 – SAT – 20h and 22h
1201, boul. St-Laurent
Montreal, Qc

For its 24th edition, the MUTEK Festival returns to the dome of the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] for the Satosphere Series, a program of immersive works and performances that explore new conceptual and sensory territories.

On the agenda: an exploration of the duality between analog and digital (Metaract); a supernatural journey to rediscover the transcendence of nature (Iwakura); an immersion into a sacred ritual of spiritual union (Union); an opening to an inclusive spatio-temporal world (I want to leave this Earth behind), and a sensory experience around quantum physics (Entanglement).

The SAT x MUTEK program in the Satosphere is presented by the SAT and is not included in the MUTEK passes. However, MUTEK pass holders can benefit from a 15% discount for this event. This offer is available in person at the ticket office of the Society for Arts and Technology (1201, boul. St-Laurent). Within the limit of available seats
