Following its very successful 2006 presentation in China as part of the Third Beijing International New Media Arts Exhibition and Symposium, the À l’intérieur/Inside exhibition, produced by the Groupe Molior, will be hosted by the Paço das Artes art centre in São Paulo, Brazil, from May 5 to July 20, 2008.

Conceived by independent curator Sylvie Parent, the exhibition brings together new media projects by eight Canadian artists: Æ (Gisèle Trudel and Stéphane Claude), Alexandre Castonguay, beewoo, Jean Dubois, Lynn Hughes, Simon Laroche and Brad Todd. The notion of interiority the exhibition is based on refers to the desire asserted by artistic practices to foster the creation of an internal space.

Through the use of tactility, Perversely Interactive System by Lynn Hughes and Simon Laroche, as well as Tact by Jean Dubois invite the participant to experience a spatial continuity between outside and inside. beewoo’s habitgram and Alexandre Castonguay’s Digitale exteriorize the individual in space, making it possible to include the environment in a personal territory. Lastly, Æ’s DATA and Brad Todd’s redTV projects reveal phenomena that escape the senses and express the hidden depths of the real.
