pixels·collectif

Formed in 2020, pixels·collectif joins the practices of Frédérique Bordeleau, Andrée-Anne Mercier and Sandrine Cadieux around a common desire to create artistic, engaging and accessible video games. Their mandate is to take up the video game medium, historically dominated by men and commercial interests, in order to present alternative narratives and promote the recognition of this medium in the visual arts milieu. In collaboration with the sound designer Guillaume Plourde, the collective presented an initial game, Sunrise, at the Perchée gallery in Montreal (2021), at the Art Urbain Montréal exhibition Mémoire de l’avenir (2022) and at the Art Souterrain exhibition Espaces Croisés (2022). Their new game, Brume, was launched at the Eisode gallery in Montreal (2023).
