Signals/Modulations: Exhibiting Oscillations Zine

Signals / Modulations: Exhibiting Oscillation is a creative invitation into the processes of ideation, development, interaction, and transduction within the artworks of the 2025 exhibition, Oscillation (October - January, Canadian Cultural Centre, Paris, France).

Spanning 25 projects by 35 artists, this zine places the works in conversation through four thematic lenses: Interaction, Waste, Transduction, and Interface.

​

• Interaction considers the viewer's role in modulating and shifting a work's outcome.

• Waste explores regeneration through traditionally discarded materials.

• Transduction accounts for the evolution of signals from one form into another.

• Interface centers computation, barriers, and nodes of connection.

​

While we examine these themes individually, the artworks contend with their multiple, overlapping relations (waste and interaction, transducing interfaces, etc.). Collaboratively, the themes enable a reflection on the possibilities, limitations, and reverberations of media and oscillating signals through material and creative processes.

​

We position this zine not only as a thematic reflection but also as a pedagogical tool that engages the possibilities of research-creation and creative ethnography.

​

This zine was co-created with Lee Wilkins and Suarjan Prasai in collaboration with two of the exhibition curators (Marie-Pier Boucher and Alice Jarry).​
