Intro: François Quévillon's interdisciplinary practice explores phenomena of the world and perception by the implementation of processes sensitive to their fluctuations and to human interference. His work has been presented at exhibitions and events dedicated to contemporary art, cinema and digital creation.
La Terre en suspens solo exhibition by François Quévillon.Centre d’exposition d’Amos. Amos, Quebec, Canada.November 18, 2022, to January 15, 2023.Curator : Eric Mattson The works in this exhibition probe space, time, matter and energy by linking geological and digital universes. They deal with planetary upheavals and those of contemporary representations while recalling the environment and natural resources of Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Consisting of geological formations and fragments of territories altered by algorithms, the exhibition explores the implications and effects on the perception of some technologies while offering new perspectives on the evolution of the Earth, its composition and the processes that act on it; such as erosion, volcanism, extraction and transformation of minerals in a context of globalization.

François Quévillon is an artist from Montreal, Canada. He develops an interdisciplinary practice through installation, images, sound and technologies. His work explores phenomena of the world and perception by the implementation of processes sensitive to their fluctuations and to the interference of contextual elements. His work addresses planetary changes as well as those affecting contemporary media, such as the relations between algorithms and images (photogrammetry, computer vision and other forms of computational photography). He investigates how technology affects or redefines human cognition, culture, the environment, our relationships to space, to time and to one another. He holds a Master’s degree in Visual and Media Arts from UQAM (2008) and was involved with several artist-run centres and research groups. Frequently developed during artist residencies, François Quévillon’s work has been presented at exhibitions and events dedicated to contemporary art, cinema and digital creation. Among them : Connecting the Dots (Mexico), Sundance’s New Frontier exhibition (Park City), Spaces Under Scrutiny at the Knockdown Center (New York), International Symposium on Electronic Art (Gwangju, Dubaï and Albuquerque), Festival Internacional de Linguagem Eletrônica (São Paulo), IndieBo (Bogotá), LOOP Barcelona, Contemporary Istanbul, Mirage Festival (Lyon), Show Off Paris, Festival de la Imagen (Manizales), European Conference on Computer Vision (Munich), Mois Multi (Québec), NeurIPS, RIDM, Elektra and International Digital Art Biennal (Montréal).
