With a background in visual arts, Myriam Bessette explores drawing and sound sampling, which she transforms and animates using technological tools. Her works, rhythmic and synesthetic, generated by elements in perpetual permutation, reconcile the traditional nature of the unique and eternal artwork with the contemporary character marked by recycling and the great variability of data. She works with electronic reality to offer us always surprising sound propositions.
Holding a bachelor's degree from the School of Visual and Media Arts of Montreal (UQAM), Myriam Bessette joined the Montreal center Perte de Signal in 2001. Her installations have been presented in Canada and in many European cities; Istanbul, Leipzig, Ghent, Marseille, Stuttgart, Trieste, Paris, Barcelona, Brussels. Additionally, her works have been showcased in numerous festivals, including Sonar (Barcelona), the New Zealand International Film Festival (Auckland), the European Media Art Festival (Osnabrück), and Elektra (Montreal). Her film Azur (2001) was acquired by the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Myriam Bessette lives and works in Montreal.
