For nearly five years now, PHI and Acute Art have been collaborating to present the best in extended reality (XR) in Montreal and around the world. Always focused on the art of tomorrow, this free exhibition explores the limits of what new media art offers by redefining the point of contact between the work and the visitor.
The works display phantom-like qualities—at once ghostly, spectral, and hologramatic simulacra—they are present in non-tangible ways.
With your smartphone in hand, come and discover the PHI Centre, and summon up these other worlds.
Meet the artists
Playful and plaintive, sincere and satiric, Darren Bader's take on sculpture has been called "immodestly heterodox" and "dead-end Modernist deadpan".
Marco Brambilla is an Italian-born Canadian video installation artist based in London. He directed Demolition Man, (1993) before shifting focus to video and photography projects.
Since the early 1990s, Koo Jeong A has made works that are seemingly casual and commonplace, yet at the same time remarkably precise, deliberate, and considered. Her reflections on the senses and the body incorporate objects, still and moving images, audio elements, and aromas.
Bjarne Melgaard (b. 1967) was born in Sydney, Australia to Norwegian parents. In installations that include paintings, videos, and mixed-media works, the artist explores themes of substance addiction, sexuality, and self-destruction.
