No prior experience is required: just curiosity, a desire to experiment, and a laptop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants will learn to combine technical tools and an artistic approach to create their own mini-projection project, which they will share with the group at the end of the session. The goal: to demystify digital technology and open the door to new forms of visual creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this workshop, Le Labo continues its mission to make Francophone media arts accessible and inspiring, while fostering connections between artists, technologies, and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maxime Touroute<\/strong> is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the <strong>intersections between technology and humanity<\/strong>. His works question how our most profoundly human qualities &#8211; creativity, interaction, and a sense of community &#8211; are transformed in the digital age. Through participatory and immersive experiences, he invites audiences to reflect on the connections that bind us in a world shaped by technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His flagship project, <a href=\"https:\/\/maximetouroute.com\/livedrawing\/#content\"><em>Let\u2019s Draw<\/em><\/a> <em>(presented in over 80 exhibitions across 10 countries)<\/em>, transforms public spaces into giant interactive canvases where participants draw together in real time using a video mapping system. By stimulating collective creation, Let\u2019s Draw reveals our shared imaginations around universal themes: <strong><em>how to draw a tree, love, or our world?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His most recent creation, <a href=\"https:\/\/maximetouroute.com\/the-invisible-party\/#content\"><em>The Invisible Party<\/em><\/a>, co-produced by Enter Art Fair and co-written with Natacha Paquignon, explores mixed reality through a dance performance where two performers interact with their virtual doubles. This work questions the relationship between body, space, and technology: can a digital world enhance our body awareness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A practice at the intersection of art and technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind each of his works lies a suite of creative software developed in-house, designed to make digital creation more accessible. These tools are now used in museums, festivals, and cultural institutions worldwide for immersive, educational, and accessibility projects. A recipient of numerous awards from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, Maxime embodies a generation of artists who harness technology for sharing, collaboration, and collective creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video mapping workshop with Maxime Touroute<\/p>\n<p>Le Labo invites Francophone artists from Toronto to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of video mapping during a workshop led by Maxime Touroute, an internationally recognized artist and creative developer.<\/p>\n<p>2 november 2025, 11am to 3pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-upcoming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6491"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6494,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6491\/revisions\/6494"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.lelabo.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
