Accrochages

Accrochages is a duo project by Montreal-based artists Sofian Audry and Samuel St-Aubin. It stems from their will to bring their art practice out of the walls of a gallery space, on the walls of the city itself. The intent is to build small active and autonomous objects that can, through simple means, give new qualities to the city environment by creating different interactive situations.

We propose to build different models of objects. Some of them will be produced in large amount, while others will be unique. They will display different kinds of behaviors through the use of simple sensors and emitters (e.g. light-sensor, distance sensor, microphone, LED, speaker, LED display, etc). Each object will be auto-sufficient (ie. able to recharge themselves, with solar panels for instance), cheap (we are targeting less than 15 Euros).
