Pía BaltazarFR/QC
PÍa Baltazar is an intermedia composer, indisciplinary researcher, and directress of research-creation at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT). With an academic background in engineering, art philosophy, and musical composition, her artistic and technological research approach is the result of over twenty years at the intersection of interactive design and artistic production.
Deeply passionate about developing open-source digital tools for intermedia creation, Baltazar has been coordinating the ossia.io initiative for over fifteen years. Through the development of these tools, she is particularly interested in ways of composing together the various media brought into play and their interactions with the living (performers, audience...). More generally, her research interests focus on the creative possibilities of intersensory experiences, as well as the involvement of the body and gesture in the creative process.
As part of SAT's innovation strategy, she is committed to building bridges between creators, academic research centers, and cultural and creative industry organizations. With this in mind, her long-term research program for SAT aims to produce collaborative tools for immersive and collective creation, in a research-creation approach.
