Join Natacha Clitandre for a presentation of i am the metric, an atmospheric digital installation exploring a Montreal that lacks value in the collective imagination through nocturnal liminal spaces. The artist acts as a cursor, using technology to capture biometric, environmental, and geolocation data in an effort to preserve the traces of her experiences and identify principles of causality, asserting her appropriation of non-places and over her agency.
