Since its founding in 1993, Avatar (Québec, Canadà) has been an innovator in audio and electronic arts research in North America. At Avatar, audio and electronic creation cover a broad range of activities, including creating listening devices, the invention and circuit bending of instruments, sound installation, performance, radio art, and sound sculpture. Audio art crosses the fields of music, visual arts, and poetry and is open to hybrid forms of audible performance, sound excavations, and acoustic environments. Avatar also develops programming of custom-made software and electronic interfaces, as well as interactive and kinetic installation systems and telematic works. As Recto-Verso, Mois-Multi festival producers, Avatar is part of the Méduse cooperative, a nerve center around the artistic experimentation of the city and the territory.
