HE/ART BE/AT is an abstract introspective journey exploring themes of birth, artistic practice and decay. The short film features director Nicolas Lalonde’s ultrasound, regurgitated by his video synthesizers, evolving in space, in concert with Dominic Walther-Battista’s sound sculptures.
Nicolas Lalonde, a poet-composer-performer and graduate of the École nationale de la chanson, and Dominic Walther-Battista, a Concordia alum specializing in Electroacoustic studies, boast over a decade of individual artistic development. Since 2020, their combined forces have harmonized, merging their skills, sensibilities, and artistic pursuits to craft mesmerizing analog audiovisual experiences.
In their collaboration, Dominic's mastery in sound sculpting and diverse aesthetic nuances seamlessly intertwines with Nicolas' adeptness in conjuring vivid imagery and pioneering analog glitch concepts. While both artists thrive in multidisciplinary approaches, their partnership illuminates a synthesis of depth, inviting audiences to embrace experiences that provoke both healing and disruption.
