Ice Follies 2025

Anyse Ducharme, 2025

PRESENTED BY NEAR NORTH MOBILE MEDIA LAB

For Ice Follies 2025, Anyse Ducharme will be creating a new work based on the theories and technical processes used in the creation of her recent work ‘I think of you often’ in Weinbergspark, Berlin. When activated through touch sensors woven into the bark of a tree, people’s shared moments in the park were spoken out through a speaker. Her project for Ice Follies 2025 will be much larger in scale and will engage with site specificity, multiversal expression of experience on social media and in the community, in relation to ecological realities and concerns on Lake Nipissing. The work will be built off of multiple sound boards and will be interactive through either touch or pressure sensors. When a viewer touches a sensor, our community’s experiences with the lake will sound out.

Artist Bio:

Anyse Ducharme (elle | she | her) is a franco-ontarian (fr | en) media artist, curator + teacher from northeastern Ontario, Robinson-Huron Treaty Territory. Her artistic production locates itself in an opposition (from within) to digital colonialism through small, sometimes subversive acts: glitching images with internet comments; dismantling assumptions of transparency that are both promoted and compromised by the ways in which knowledge is increasingly organized in the era of the computer; and by exploring the malleability of data through the transformation of information into various representational states.

Her work has been exhibited at Flux Gallery – AceArt Inc (Winnipeg), Gallery 44 (Toronto), la Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario (Sudbury), InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre (Toronto), and as part of the Flash Forward festival for emergent photography (Toronto, Boston, Portland). Her most recent work “I’ve swear ive followed the instruction but my heart can’t close” is for sale with Printed Matter, Inc. (NYC).
