Léa Boudreau est artiste sonore, conceptrice de circuits électroniques et d’environnements immersifs basée à Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Elle questionne les relations inter-espèces (plus précisément entre les êtres humains et non-humains) en considérant la vie animale et la vie artificielle comme terrains de réflexion sur les hiérarchies qui divisent notre monde. Elle souligne les enjeux affectifs, sociaux et environnementaux qui émergent de la rencontre entre capitalisme, dynamiques de pouvoir, spécisme et les diverses formes de suprématies. Léa crée des oeuvres sonores, visuelles et interactives qui placent l’être humain en relation avec les créatures hybrides et ambiguës qu’elle conçoit (p. ex. des robots aux caractéristiques animales, réactifs mais non-organiques, etc.) Comment ces rencontres inhabituelles peuvent-elles nous aider à réfléchir à nos préjugés? Comment peut-on contribuer au développement d’un meilleur équilibre entre les différentes espèces et prendre en considération la diversité d’existences?

Léa Boudreau is an electronic circuit maker, sound crafter, and immersive environment builder based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. She questions interspecies relationships (specifically between humans and nonhumans) by considering animal and robotic life as ground for reflections on hierarchies dividing our world. She is interested in exploring the intersections of capitalism, power dynamics, speciesism, and (various forms of) supremacy to raise awareness over insidious and oppressive structures. She creates installations, soundscapes and electronic ecosystems placing human guests in contact with hybrid and ambiguous beings (e.g., robots with animal features, responsive but not organic, etc.) How can these unusual encounters help us reflect on our own biases? How do we build a better equilibrium between species and take into account the diversity of existences?
