Switzerland is this year's guest country at the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN), to be held for the 3rd time from June 3 to July 3, 2016 in Montreal. Organised by Montreal digital arts festival ELEKTRA, whose 17th edition will take place from June 1st to 5, the BIAN will host a large palette of eclectic works by numerous Canadian and international artists, among which a large Swiss delegation co-curated with Mapping Festival.
Entitled AUTOMATA: Art made by machines for machines, the exhibition presented at Arsenal Contemporary Art will feature creations by Swiss artists Pe Lang, Benjamin Muzzin, Zimoun, Lukas Truniger, and A Normal Working Day.
On June 3, also in partnership with Mapping Festival, ELEKTRA audiences will furthermore have the chance to attend two performances by Swiss artists: Blink, the latest creation of collective LSD – Light, Sound and Death, and Bleu Remix, in which Yann Marussich offers an intimate, secret journey through his body.
This project is supported by Fondation Pro Helvetia, Swissnex Boston, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and the Cultural Service of the City of Geneva, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal.
