ALMA (Alexandre Saunier & Marc-André Cossette)

ALMA (Alexandre Saunier & Marc-André Cossette) mixes cutting-edge AI & A-Life algorithms with drum machines, analog and virtual synthesizers, photogrammetry, procedural graphics, and videogame engines to invoke memories of inaccessible places, the sensations of the material world, and the feeling of being together. Alexandre Saunier is an interdisciplinary multimedia artist. His practice lies at the intersection between artistic creation with light, sound, video, complex systems, and sensory perception. His work is regularly presented in international festivals such as Mutek, Bcn_Llum, Elektra, Impakt, and Festival de la Imagen.
