Marc-André Cossette

Marc-André Cossette is a trans-disciplinary artist working on the relation between technology and live arts. He is interested in new sensory modes of interaction between the moving body and semi-autonomous algorithms and the impact of such interaction on the human. His work is at the same time an exploration of sensory sense making and a critique of current decontextualized AI paradigm. Marc-André collaborates with dancers and choreographers to truly integrate the technologies in the movement creation and the dancing in the code. Since 2014, he has created several pieces with Axelle Munezero, known for her urban dance mastery and Armando Menicacci, artist-researcher from Université du Québec à Montréal. He also collaborates with artists from other disciplines such as signer/songwriter AfrotroniX and textile researcher Barbara Layne (Concordia University). Marc-André holds a Bachelor’s degree in Interactive Media and a Master’s in Experimental Media from UQAM. He is currently pursuing an Individualized Study Ph.D. in Fine Arts at Concordia University.
