Spotlight on Four Research-Creation Journeys by CREAT’s Emerging Researchers
Through a collaboration between CREAT and the Hexagram Network, four emerging researchers from the Chair present their work as part of the DEMO program. This opportunity to share their research also offers insight into the creative approaches and reflections that inform it.
Representing CREAT’s four research areas, Anaë Bilodeau, Simon Chioini, Elise Trinh and Raphaël Guyard invite us to discover projects in sound creation, animated filmmaking, design and video games.
Hexagram’s DEMO Program
The DEMO program supports the documentation and dissemination of research-creation projects by members of the Hexagram Network. Through texts and audiovisual content, it offers a window into the works, experiments and processes that shape their creative practice.
This week, we are featuring the DEMOs of Anaë Bilodeau and Simon Chioini.
Anaë Bilodeau — Culture in the Regions Research Axis
“The mind as a battlefield”: An Animated topography of mental health
In her DEMO dedicated to the animated documentary “The mind as a battlefield”, Anaë Bilodeau (École NAD-UQAC) shares an approach that brings intimate conversations, drawing and landscapes into dialogue. She explains how animation can explore mental health, give form to emotions that sometimes remain invisible, and convey the connections between a person and the territory they inhabit.
