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 specializing in site-specific works, socio-environmental design, digital arts, tangible media and community projects. Her research focuses on sustainability, aesthetics and politics, taking a critical look at materiality, material production and contemporary issues concerning urban communities and infrastructure. Because matter is inseparable from form and practice, her installations examine how materiality, engaged in constant processes of transformation and circulation with place, technology and communities, can give rise to adaptive forms and resilient socio-environmental relationships.
