Nicolas Bernier
(Ottawa, Canadá, 1977)
Nicolas Bernier creates sound performances, installations, musique concrète, live electronic music, post-rock, acoustic improvisation and video art, at the same time he works with dance, drama, moving images and interdisciplinary contexts. In the midst of this eclecticism, his artistic endeavors remain constant: The balance between the cerebral and the sensual, and between the sources of organic sound and digital processing.
His works have been of interest for Prix Ars Electronica (Austria), SONAR (Spain), Mutek (Canada), DotMov Festival (Japan) and Transmediale (Germany) and have been published on lovely labels like Crónica (Portugal), Farmacia901 (Italy), leerraum (Switzerland) and LINE (USA).
He holds a PhD in sonic arts at the University of Huddersfield (UK) and he is currently teaching in the Digital Music program at the Université de Montréal. He is a member of Perte de Signal, a media arts research and development centre based in Montreal.
