Conference
Narrative Immersion by MUTEK Montréal & FIBER Festival
Speakers: Tati au Miel (Artist), Jeisson Drenth (Artist)
Moderator: Zoë Horsten
Presented by MUTEK Montréal & FIBER Festival
Amsterdam-based FIBER Festival and MUTEK Montréal join forces at ADE for an artist panel focused on the cross-pollinations between sound, performance art and audiovisual technologies, used as storytelling media to make new sensory experiences and imagined realities exist.
With the artists, we will dive into their experimental work processes and learn from their interdisciplinary practice. How do they collaborate with other creative disciplines? What role does the use and access to advanced technological tools and world-building soft- and hardware play? How do they materialise research on queer identity, cultural heritage and the role of rituals in their work. End your morning conference with a session on envisioning and narrating transformative realities.
Tati au Miel is an alias of Montreal-born and raised multi-disciplinary artist Tania Daniel. Their practice encompasses sound, performance, sculpture, textile, and XR (extended reality), blending experimentation, narrative speculation, storytelling, and rituals to forge intimate experiences in their work. Their artistic expressions are deeply rooted in Haitian-Canadian heritage and fluid, queer gender identity, while examining the aesthetic history of Black electronic music and its emancipatory potential.
Recent releases and live performances draw inspiration from nomadism, migration, rituals and sounds of the Caribbean diaspora. The 2023 release Carousel (via Halcyon Veil) and the new spiritual noise project Formations For Eternity (with Yesenia Rojas) are powerful yet highly personal collages between disciplines, performed with live instrumentation. Tati au Miel is a 2024 participant in the MUTEK Market, MUTEK’s artist accelerator program.
Zoë Horsten is a dynamic moderator, program maker, and creative producer. She is involved in organizing festivals that dive into the landscapes of alternative electronic music, digital (performance) art, and immersive storytelling. She works for FIBER Festival, IDFA and Pan Asian Collective. Alongside their production work, Zoë also creates programmes that foster space-making, community building and empowerment for queer and Asian identities in the Netherlands.
Media and performance artist Jeisson Drenth explores the possibilities and limitations of technologies for people to shape their past, present and future. His practice brings together video, sculpture, performance, poetry, and music. In his hands, media become embedded with queer perspectives and his lived experience as an adopted person with a history of intercontinental migration.
