Samuel St-Aubin

Through his practice in electronic arts, Samuel St-Aubin infuses everyday objects with a new reality. Employing strategies of diversion and control of matter, his kinetic sculptures isolate the behaviour of an object and test it in exercises of balance, force or chance. Through this process, he astonishingly reveals the underlying poetry of our familiar universe, which is revealed with disarming simplicity. 

Artist and new media technologist, Samuel St-Aubin has been collaborating for more than two decades in the production of electronic arts works by Quebec artists. A self-taught inventor, he has been developing a personal practice for several years. His work has been presented in exhibitions and artistic events in Quebec, the United States, several European countries as well as in North Africa. His works are part of the collections of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and the City of Montreal. He lives and works in Montreal.
