Based on the concept of filtration, [re]capture is an installation that explores the materialization of atmospheric pollution flows in Montreal. Nomadic objects placed in urban space capture the levels of fine particles, carbon dioxide and organic volatile compounds as well as images of their immediate environment. This data is organized and retransmitted into the exhibition space to inform the behavior of wind and light flows which circulate in a filtration system made of biomaterials and plants recognized for their filtering properties.
[re]capture s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet de recherche-création « Membranes souples dynamiques : la filtration de l’air comme processus matériel, interdisciplinaire et environnemental agissant » dirigé par Alice Jarry (Université Concordia) et soutenu par le Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et Culture et le Conseil des arts de Montréal.
L’équipe remercie le Service de l’environnement de la ville de Montréal (Division qualité de l’air), Patrizio McLelland, Sarah Al Mamoun et Teague Riordon.
Sous la direction d'Alice Jarry, l'œuvre a été créée collectivement par des membres de la Chaire de recherche en Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality (Concordia) et du Biolab de l’Institut Milieux pour les arts, la culture et la technologie.

Alice Jarry is an artist, researcher and educator who specializes in site-specific responsive works, socio-environmental design, digital arts, tangible media, and community-oriented projects. Her research brings concerns about sustainability, aesthetics, and politics to bear critically upon materiality, material production, and contemporary matters-of-concern regarding urban communities and infrastructures. With matter inseparable from both form and practice, her installation work examines how materiality - engaged in constant processes of transformation and circulation with site, technology, and communities - can provoke the emergence of adaptive forms and resilient socio-environmental relations.
