Rémi Lapierre

Rémi Lapierre began his career as an analyst programmer but quickly decided to pursue a career in the arts instead. He first studied comic books at University of Québec in Outaouais and received an MFA at NAD -UQAC, University of Québec at Chicoutimi.


His multi-disciplinary background allowed him to simultaneously pursue software design and the expressive logic of digital creation. Over the past five years he has worked with different artists and businesses to build a variety of projects, including interactive live shows in the dome of the Société des Arts Technologique de Montréal, interactive virtual singer and virtual reality pipeline tools for movie studios. These projects have been achieved largely using TouchDesigner and Unreal Engine.

Gil Castro

Gil Castro is the co-founder of INTUS, where he directs, develops, and designs interactive experiences for commercial and artistic projects. INTUS is a company based in Mexico City with more than 300 projects in its portfolio.


With a background in audiovisual arts and communication studies, he later found his passion in interactive technologies. With more than nine years of experience developing interactive installations and media systems he is an expert specializing in the creation of complete communication strategies, based in the development of real-time graphics, projections, and lighting design.

Philippe Dubost

With the help of light, video, smoke, and mirrors, Philippe Dubost has always tried to balance technical research with his creative endeavors. On top of a very rational generalist engineer education (Nantes) he has spent a lot of time working on personal projects to implement his left brain ideas. He now works on short films and installations, merging the physical and virtual world through light to create the unexpected. He continues to be inspired by the things from his childhood including, music, animation, poetry, skateboarding, and fireworks.


His personal projects have led him to great encounters. First, at MESO studio (Frankfurt) and then at Moment Factory (Montreal), where he is now dedicating his time to reach new emotions and experiences through media and technology. He is on a perpetual quest for inspiration with the help of his friends and teammates, to develop concepts and prototypes that stir his imagination.

Presenters

350 TouchDesigneurs coming from all the corners of the world.

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.
