Biography

Sarah Barone is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Tio’tia:ke (Montreal). Her work explores new media creation that weaves together dance and movement interactions. Crafting sites with choreographic undertones, she explores notions of embodied thinking across diverse mediums and practices such as choreography, sound, video, slow-web, and immersive installations. Sarah is inspired by subjects that engage with critical research, such as the industrialization of river systems and the parallels that emerge from ethnographies that speak to the fraying of our local & global social fabrics.

Her current research explores affective spaces, communities & ecology, where sound and movement compositions are used to examine the harmony and disintegration of feedback loops concerning sites of industrialization and extraction; tracing the relationship between art and apathy, materiality and decay, and the aural, luminary, and tactile possibilities of care.

Project Details

animal/body/data is a pluridisciplinary project exploring the ritual of collectiveness and mutualism of the symbioscene through sound and relational body practices. Inspired by the datafication of group formations, the project develops a choreographic system and acousmatic periphery that bloom rigid forms into fluid, felt states. During the residency, it engages hybrid performance, using non-linear and emergent systems where sound and movement arise as a self-regulating, dynamic language. Through gestures of mis/communication, the work examines how bodies release tension, restore connections, and generate collective cadence, reflecting on what it means to find ground together—socially, relationally, and spatially.
