Immersed in darkness, sounds and images intermingle in a hypnotic ballet.
Landscapes, figures and geometries deconstruct and reconstruct themselves, drawing viewers into an immersive universe where the boundaries between sound and image disappear
De-construct defies spatial and temporal logic, offering viewers a trans-hypnotic experience. Artist duo France Jobin and Line Katcho create sonic and visual landscapes, alternating between haunting harmonies and chaotic dissonance.

Artists
Line Katcho et France Jobin
Line Katcho is a composer and audiovisual artist based in Montreal. Primarily interested in sound and image as representations of movements, forces and gestures, she is also distinguished by an affinity for perceptive games and a talent for evoking affects. With her narrative and cinematic influences, her work is dynamic and provocative, combining the figurative with abstraction, experimentation with tradition. Leaning towards a hybridization of styles, genres and applied methods, his empirical practice seeks to bring to life a sensory and cathartic experience, rooted in expressivity, in search of authenticity.
Her work has been presented internationally at events such as MUTEK, Ars Electronica, Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand, Scopitone and Sonar Barcelona. She won first prize in the 2014 JTTP (Jeux de Temps/Times Play)competition and the Award of Distinction in the audiovisual category at the MA / IN 2016 Festival.
France Jobin, a Montreal-based audio artist and film composer, is distinguished by her minimalist audio art, described as “sound sculpture”. She creates complex sound environments combining analog and digital. Her installations integrate musical and visual elements inspired by architecture, and can be experienced in unconventional spaces and international festivals of new technologies.
Jobin has produced numerous albums for renowned labels such as LINE (US), Baskaru (FR), and Editions Mego.Her music explores notions of restraint and limits, skilfully playing with extremes, amplitudes and silences to create complex narratives.
In 2021, she presented “Entanglement AV” with Markus Heckmann at Mutek Édition 22. In 2022, she created “Entanglement XR”, and in 2023, “Entanglement dôme” at SAT. Influenced by quantum physics, Pandemic deepened its exploration of this scientific universe.
