Please join us online for the Expanded Practice: Public Studio Visit with Matthieu Hallé on Monday, August 30, 2021 at 1pm!

Matthieu Hallé is a moving image artist based in Ottawa, Canada. His work explores the
intersection of performance, cinema, improvisation, and the materiality of film. This includes a
large body of short film and video work, as well as the creation of different ‘visual instruments’
for live performance in collaboration with other artists and musicians. His works have been
presented at Particle + Wave Media Arts Festival (Calgary), the8fest (Toronto), The Mobile
Museum of Art (Alabama), and many underground and unconventional spaces. He was an artist
in residence at LIFT and PIX Film (Toronto), and has received commissions from the Windows
Collective and DARC (formerly SAW Video). He is also a co-founder of the Lightproof Film
Collective, an artist film collective dedicated to the creation and presentation of celluloid film in
Ottawa. Currently, he is studying Communication and Media Studies and Film Studies at
Carleton University.

Expanded Practice is Knot Project Space’s three-week intensive artist residency offered to local artists who are producing members of the Digital Arts Resource Centre.

About DARC's Events

Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly SAW Video) is a not-for-profit, artist-run media art centre that fosters the growth and development of artists through access to equipment, training, mentorship, and programming. Our mission is to support a diverse community of media artists empowered by technology, programming and the exchange of ideas.

Our core principles are independence of expression, affordable access to all, and paying artists for their work. Digital Arts Resource Centre values diversity and actively promotes equity for all artists regardless of race, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, or ability.

We acknowledge that Digital Arts Resource Centre is located on land that is part of the unceded and unsurrendered Traditional Territory of the Algonquin people. We honour the Algonquin people and elders, whose ancestors have occupied this territory since time immemorial, and whose culture has nurtured and continues to nurture this land and its people.
