Join artist Esteban Pérez for a virtual artist talk, hosted live over Zoom, to learn more about his practice as well as his experience as the inaugural artist in residence at the Similkameen residency, an off site residency located in BC’s interior.

“During the residency, I want to focus my time-space on two ideas: noise as time; and reversibility of time. For both ideas, I am interested in deconstructing sound and video within a given space in order to create an evolving sensorial landscape. I want to explore sonic and video mapping to question rigid geometries of time and space” - Esteban Pérez
