TOPO presents the website Hourra pour la pitoune !, by artist Nathalie Bujold, which integrates new technologies with a dose of the rustic and vernacular. As a digital echo to her exhibition En Wing en Hein presented in several artist-run centres in Quebec, the artist offers a playful site based on the staging of folk objects and animations using words from the Quebec language.

In autumn-winter 2012-2013, Nathalie Bujold developed the web project Hourra pour la pitoune! a digital echo of her En Wing en Hein body of work. In it, the artist presents words from the Quebec language: a crossword of ‘oune’, a poem on place names, a jig...

From 17 September to 17 December 2012, as part of its Sortir de l'écran/Spoken screen series, Agence TOPO welcomes Nathalie Bujold, who for the occasion will metamorphose into a ‘digital farmer’. HOURRA POUR LA PITOUNE is a digital echo of the En Wing en Hein corpus. Nathalie Bujold proposes to stage and animate words from the Quebec language: a crossword of ‘oune’, a place-name poem, a turlutte, a tourette, a tourte, a logorrhoea, a pantheon and a recipe. Nathalie Bujold will be making objects that will form the primary material for the media content, such as typography, textures and animations. This residency will also be an opportunity for her to explore new digital creation tools.

For this project, Nathalie Bujold will also be inviting artist and poet Cynthia Girard to create duo media performances that will be presented in 2013 at a Sortir de l'écran/Spoken screen evening.
