Simone Provencher is a musician and analog circuit designer based in Montreal. Alongside her exploratory and improvisational music practices, she is interested in sound manipulation and the malleability of electronic signals. She approaches analog electronics, built by hand whenever possible, as an almost traditional craft, preserving methods and approaches often considered outdated by applying them to new explorations . She is interested in the pragmatic, aesthetic, and sound consequences that arise from the persistent use of these technologies. She invests a great deal of energy in designing instruments, interfaces, and objects that facilitate the interplay between a subtle instrumental practice and the abstract possibilities of electronic sound sources.

Rebecca Ramsey’s work turns formal research toward architectures of care, intimacy, and circulation. Through ceramics, she brings together pipes, organs, domestic networks, and mineral formations, revealing both the body and the built environment as fragile infrastructures. Her works suggest that care is not only a relationship but also a material system, shaped by passages and conduits.

In Myriam Simard-Parent’s work, this reflection on utilitarian objects is carved directly into wood. By recreating forms associated with everyday life and the domestic sphere, the artist unsettles the expected uses of a practice shaped by artisanal and gendered conventions. The objects she renders inoperative suspend their function without erasing the memory of it. They reveal tensions between art and craft, labour and domesticity.
