There are multiple museums, more public displays than I could care count, and even a dedicated complex underneath the streets of the city (named Place Des Arts) that was seemingly built because there wasn\u2019t enough room above ground for all of the art. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Henry David Thoreau wrote that \u201cthis world is but a canvas to our imagination.\u201d If that\u2019s true, the citizens of Montreal have a vivid, deep and colorful and twisted imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most imaginative things about Montreal is the Society for Art and Technology. For the last 20 years The SAT and the devout people who call it home have been researching, experimenting with, and generally exploring the deepest waters of digital art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I sat down with the President and Founder of the SAT, Monique Savoie, as well as Luc Courchesne, artist and Co-Director of Research at the SAT, to talk to them about the history, culture, and ideals behind the facility.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By happenstance, it seems that the Society for Art and Technology was created out of a whim. More than twenty years ago, after attending ISEA, the International Symposium of Electronic Arts &#8211; which is hosted in different cities around the globe &#8211; Monique and Luc arrived back in Montreal with a desire to create a permanent home for the kind of thinking going on at that conference. So, the prehistory of the SAT came about in 1995, when they hosted the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISEA \u201895 Montreal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and crammed more than 1,000 people and 140 interactive installations together for a week of discussion and exhibition. When they pulled the plug after the conference ended, they decided to keep the energy from it going, and morphed into the Society for Art and Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The culture that flourished around it is and was one with a foundation of open sharing, collectivism, exploration of new mediums, and a purposeful collision of the worlds of art &amp; technology. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>One thing I learned about Monique Savoie is that nothing stands in her way. Rumor has it she is going to be the first mayor of the first virtual city. I guess technically she\u2019d be a virtual mayor.<\/p>\n<p><b>PART II: THE ART<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tricky thing about immersive and virtual reality media is that if you aren\u2019t actually experiencing it, it is almost impossible to visualize. In this next section however, I will try my best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine if you will, what the great abstract artists of history &#8211; Pablo Picasso, M.C. Escher, Salvador Dali &#8211; would have had dreams about. Walking around in one such dream would be similar walking around in the art pieces presented in the Satosphere at the IX Symposium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And literally, you can walk around in them. The 60 ft diameter dome known as the Satosphere, even when full to capacity of people, leaves plenty of room to move, and even when they roll out floor seating for more artistic and introspective pieces, people still explore. In my observation, it\u2019s a great social experiment; encouraging people to interact within and experience an altered state of reality, and in fear of sounding overly clich\u00e9, shift their perspectives <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">way<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> outside the box. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OO or Ocular Oscillation <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Alain Thibault (CA), Patrick Trudeau (CA) and Jean-Se\u0301bastien Baillat (CA)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7597 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"650\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra.png 975w, https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/altethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Elektra-640x427.png 640w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 975px;

These two industries seem to be intimately linked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That link, it seems, is the art of storytelling.
