During their residency, Myriam & Pierce will work on their new project, The End Product.

The End Product is an audiovisual performative meditation about our daily online experiences. It explores the particular rhythm of the constant data streams flooding our screens from a multiplicity of sources. The performance dives into a speculative reflection on the hidden mechanisms behind the overstimulating feed, who decides and controls the content, who profits from it, and who endures its effects.

As it follows a user’s scroll through their personal commodified feedscape, the piece deceptively blurs the performative codes between artists and audience, and their networked interaction, hinting at another presence behind the likes, the posts and the selfies.

With the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region through the SCAN grant, and L’Espace Gantner (Territoire de Belfort). Residency support from iMAL, Interstice, Sporobole and Recto-Verso.
