By experimenting with digital printing for its materiality in space, Levasseur plans to work at Centre SAGAMIE this winter to expand a recent installation project titled Techno-Compost. This immersive virtual reality installation proposes an exploration of decomposition as a potential solution to the accumulation of digital data — a phenomenon particularly accelerated since the advent of machine learning tools. This fictional compost here produces fertile soil (noise), within a cyclical process of entropy and regeneration.

Marie-Ève Levasseur is an interdisciplinary artist currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal who brews beer and enjoys gardening. Their work unfolds across various media, including video, installation, sculpture, digital printing, 3D animation, as well as virtual and augmented reality. Levasseur is interested in decentring the human, hybrid becoming, and speculative universes that speak of alterity, metamorphosis, and potential collaboration with non-human technological and organic entities. After living, studying, and working in Leipzig, Germany, for many years, Levasseur returned to Québec in 2021. Their installations have been exhibited internationally, notably in Berlin, Paris, Montréal, Zürich, Hong Kong, and London.
