Hugues Clément (CA/MONTREAL)//Since winning the SAT’s Bourse Euterke contest as an emerging VJ in 2011, vj and audiovisual artist Hugues Clément, based in Montreal, has further refined his very singular, dichotomy-dismantling approach through performances at MUTEK, Igloofest and showcased works in Beijing, Brussels and Paris. Informed by studies in electroacoustics and compositional work for the theatre and contemporary dance, Clément comes at a/v art with scrupulous artistic deliberations and a playful bent for digital manipulations and abstracted graphic juxtapositions. Clement recently won the 1st prize jury and the 1st prize audience of the international audiovisual competition The Crystal Interface held by Mutek and Elektra festival (EM15) with his a/v work GLEAM, presented this year at the museum of contemporary art of Montreal (MACM).
