Two of my sound works will be prominently exhibited as part of Dinka Pignon’s, Thresholds of Reality in Belgrade.

My original compositions will be featured in Not Sure (2010), and Orchestra of the Uncanny Valley (2014). you might find my face in a few of the other pieces too.

This retrospective brings together seven installations that explore the unstable thresholds between the real and the virtual. Through projections, interactive environments, and AI-mediated presences, the works probe the spaces where perception falters and meaning wavers.

Manufacturing Entertainment is thrilled to be showing glamTURE at this year’s Nuit Blanche Winnipeg alongside an incredible lineup of folks at HyperArt in St Boniface! Presented by Cluster Festival and HyperArt

Manufacturing Entertainment (Julie and I) will be artists-in-residence at the Klondike Institute of Art + Culture (KIAC) in Dawson City Yukon!

We’re absolutely thrilled to be traveling to Dawson City and to engage with artists there. We plan to work with projections and surface speakers/exciters to build some kind of community-created A/V work that responds to the unique environment of Dawson City. Stay tuned!

Manufacturing Entertainment are pleased to announce perdere: to lose, to waste, to destroy will be part of the Dobra Festival in Brazil, and will also be viewable online between Sept 25 and October 2nd.

Program: Myths And Rites Of Passage In Another World

This program brings together films that investigate the contemporary landscape through the mark of the cataclysms and imbalances of a planet in transition. Films that experiment with different approaches and multiple paths regarding language, that make us imagine other ways of perceiving the landscapes of our inner worlds in the face of social impacts.

The VIII DOBRA will take place between September 22nd to 24th at Cinemateca do MAM, with free entry. After the end of the in-person activities, the festival will have an online continuation, from September 25th to October 2nd.

Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers newest work, choreographed by Jolene Bailey will feature a brand new score composed by me.

In Between Here and Now, by Artistic Director, Jolene Bailie, featuring an ensemble of Winnipeg dancers and lighting by long-time collaborator, Hugh Conacher. Known for her visual and complex work, Bailie creates experimental works that are abstract, personal and reflective. This new work explores dynamics of perceptions and desire.

TOPS (working title) is a new project of mine, conceived of as an electro-mechanical sculptural sound composition and performance tool comprised of 40 modified tin harmonic tops, each controlled via a set of linked Arduino microcontrollers.

This project was recently funded by the BC Arts Council and is currently in production. I expect to have a prototype completed in the next few months.

If you are interested in showing TOPS in your gallery or booking a performance, please contact me via the email in the ABOUT section

There is a different audio only version on Soundcloud

There is a nine minute single shot determined by the currents of the Peace River under threat by BC Hydro and the SiteC dam project. Sound sources were recorded on location and in the depths of a hydro dam.

If the dam is completed this entire area, Indigenous burial and ceremonial land, and fertile farmland will be under water.

What you see here is not the final outcome of the artwork. There is a single shot version, and a performance rehearsal version.

Julie and my A/V piece, Vertigo Digression No. 3 will be screened as part of SPIRIT GUIDE TO LOW TECH, curated by Constantine Katsiris and Presented by Panospria at the Sounds Like Festival in Saskatoon.

You can see the video on my website here: http://www.emmahendrix.com/music-2/#/sound-art/

We (Julie Gendron and I) will be conducting the first part of research and field recording for Julie's project "When Once There Was". We will be travelling to the Peace River Valley to the Site "C" Dam location to record audio and visual raw material to be used in a live A/V performance. The performance will be developed from the raw material we collect while travelling in the Valley.

I am pleased to have VERTIGO DIGRESSION NO. 3 as part of the group exhibition, SEEDED, celebrating the launch of Video Pool's new POOLSIDE Gallery. Work will be on display Friday and Saturday.

Both Sides Now is an interactive video installation by Julie Gendron that is currently in development. I am creating complex layers of sound that will be triggered by audience members' presence, specific to one of two videos. The layers need to be interesting in their own right, but must also be able to work compositionally with every sound element in either video, triggered at random times.

The piece is about each individual’s struggle with inevitable change–inertia–accompanied with the ongoing internal discomfort displayed through hopeless and awkward control mechanisms.

We will be in development for GAME OVER, another collaborative work with Dinka Pignon (see Orchestra of the Uncanny Valley).

More to come soon...

Julie and I will be presenting another iteration of don't, stop at the FISH FACTORY CREATIVE CENTRE in Stöðvarfjörður East Iceland.
