ALMA

ALMA (Alexandre Saunier & Marc-André Cossette) was born and developed at a distance in endless online jams. Isolated in front of their computer screens, the duo developed an original form of audiovisual performance that mixes cutting-edge AI & A-Life algorithms with drum machines, analog and virtual synthesizers, photogrammetry, procedural graphics, and video-game engines to invoke the memories of inaccessible spaces and the sensations of the material world.

ALMA’s work is presented in venues such as Ars Electronica, Elektra, Mutek, and el Festival de la Imagen. Alexandre Saunier works at the intersection of light, sound, video, complex systems, and sensory perception. Marc-André Cossette explores the relation between technology and performing arts using sound, visual, interaction design and Artificial Intelligence.
