Guillaume Bourassa is the Co-founder of Creation Ex Nihilo and works in new media creation and specializes in immersive and interactive video, mapping, Tape art and 3D. After several years as technical head of Satosphère at the Society for Arts and Technology, he is now Director of Research and Development at Moment Factory, a world-renowned experiential design firm. He has more than 15 years of experience in digital arts and is constantly renewed thanks to his inexhaustible curiosity.

Quentin Bleton

Quentin Bleton works at Moment Factory as a Solution Architect. He has used TouchDesigner as a teaching platform, mostly for shaders. He is interested in using shaders to bypass traditional performance bottlenecks in TouchDesigner and finding creative, out of the box applications for shaders. He is particularly interested in the versatility of geometry shaders.

Jonathan Thompson

Jonathan Thompson is a multi-disciplinary artist who specializes in developing real-time performance systems that enable synesthetic audiovisual synchronization and the transformation of musical information from audio to the visible realm of light. While studying Computer Science at the University of Virginia, he started to create audiovisual performances and the complex systems required to run them. During an artist residency with Cyber Illusions in Colombo, Sri Lanka, he created his first warehouse scale solo performance and collaborated with local artists on lighting and visual projects. He currently resides in New York while working on experiential branding projects with corporate clients including Instagram, Facebook, VISA, Sony, and Netflix. He also works on audiovisual projects independently and in collaboration with musical artists such as SQUNTO and Crystal Control.

Venue

The Summit takes place on the beautiful and spacious Couer des Sciences / UQAM campus in  Montreal centre-ville very close to Place des Arts. We will be occupying several spaces in the campus, but the main entrance and registration will be in the “Chaufferie” building which will also act as the ‘lab’ or community space.  Please see attached map for access routes.
