The poet and artist Pierre-André Arcand works in the areas of performance, poetry, experimental music, sound art and new technologies. He has carried out early experimentation with the “Macchina Ricordi”, a modified recording machine which he uses to work with voice and spoken language. His works combine visual poetry, text, sound poetry, performance, installations, objects and publications. Since the end of the 90s, he has been working with media art and with real-time audio and video technology. His recent performances have also incorporated video images, video noise and visual and concrete poetry. Arcand lives in Saint-Roch-de-Richelieu and Quebec.
