[RE]CAPTURE
création
ALICE JARRY
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.
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.
[re]capture is part of the research-creation project “Dynamic flexible membranes: air filtration as an active material, interdisciplinary and environmental process” directed by Alice Jarry (Concordia University) and supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et Culture and the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
The team would like to thank the City of Montreal Environment Department (Air Quality Division), Patrizio McLelland, Sarah Al Mamoun and Teague Riordon.
Under the direction of Alice Jarry, the artwork was created collectively by members of the Research Chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality (Concordia) and the Biolab at the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture, and Technology.
