Commissioned thematic podcast by media artist Guylaine Bertrand for XX Files Radio Project
“Basing myself on an intensive review of the XX Files radio show archives, I selected words in French and English. I then mixed, reversed and modified the tempo of the elements in order to obtain a sound composition and a certain rhythm. I picked words that came up frequently and that adequately represented Studio XX for me: femme, women, Studio XX, technology, workshops. The idea of repetition is quite simple: these words appear and reappear in the XX Files radio show, acting as a thread that links all these years together.”
Guylaine Bertrand is an emerging artist finishing an interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree in arts at the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi (UQAC), with a concentration in digital arts. She was an intern at Studio XX in the spring of 2010 and worked on the XX Files radio online archives project. She is particularly interested in performance and media art, and works towards creating different manifestations and representations of Ta Mère, a character at the center of her artistic process. At the same time, she pursues her work as author and performer in the group Guylaine et Réjean, a country folk music group.
