  • ISEA2020

    Jean Dubois is a professor at the School of Visual and Media Arts of the Université du Québec à Montréal. The subjects of his artistic practice and research range from digital devices, random structures, intersubjective reflections, textual imagery and in situ approaches. His creations structure themselves from the material location, from implicit significations and from the potential decay of the work of art. He is especially preoccupied with corporal and multisensual experiences which he stages through body posture, touch and breath in order to produce an amplified intimacy. He also addresses art in the public sphere with media installations displaying unstable monuments of random and interactive forms.

He teaches at Université du Québec à Montréal’s School of Visual Arts and Media Arts (Canada). His creations have been presented in a number of countries, including Canada, Poland, China, the United States, Brazil, Japan, and Luxembourg.
