VOIX: uOttawa BFA Gradshow 2018

​

VOIX is a student curated and organized exhibition showcasing the work of twenty-eight emerging artists, who has transformed the Department of Visual Arts’ building into an exhibition space.

​

Anika Lalonde has explored the relationship between urban spaces and her displacements within it, fulfilling a city's intended purpose of exploration and enjoyment. Cellphone footage, sound recordings, samples of collected objects, written observations and memories allow her to archive her findings. The result is a personalized map of screenshots from video footage, assembled with the aid of Google Maps for accuracy and street identification. 

​

The historical map of Ottawa created in 1911 is used as a reminder of past cartographical methods and eases the identification process of the landscapes's ever-changing state. Viewers of this work have the ability to unfold layers of Ottawa's past in six interactive stations.
