What happens when the audience stops watching and starts co-creating? Led by Manuel Bolduc (SAT), this masterclass introduces the principles and practice of collective interactivity - an approach to artistic creation where moving bodies become the primary interface. Whether through crowd movement within an installation, a public space, or a performance, collective interaction transforms the visual and sonic universe of a work in real time, creating fluid, intuitive dialogue between human presence and scenic environment.

Participants explore the potential of computer vision and motion capture and tracking systems as creative tools, discovering how these technologies can be integrated into artistic practice to redefine what it means to gather.

Please note that this activity takes place in the Satosphère at the Society for Arts and Technology: 1201 Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2X 2S6
