The INSITU app and the INSITU interactive wall

"The INSITU journey was born out of the desire to create encounters, first between the public and iconic cultural locations in Montreal, and then between the public and artists from various disciplines such as dance, theater, music, circus arts, literature, and visual arts. The originality of these virtual encounters lies in the fact that these artists perform for us in public spaces, looking us in the eye, which creates a beautiful sense of closeness. It is also possible to interact within the scene and move around the artists to gain a different perspective." – Michel Lemieux, artistic director

The INSITU app offers the public a true virtual journey through great classics, contemporary works, Quebec heritage, and breathtaking performances. Composed of 23 augmented reality experiences, this journey enables encounters between the public, artists, and iconic locations of Montreal's culture.

The INSITU wall

Projected onto the Maison symphonique and visible from the Esplanade of Place des Arts, the INSITU wall invites visitors to experience a fun and immersive experience by participating live in the creation of an interactive, unifying, and playful work of art. Everyone can leave their mark on this wall. Stored in memory, it can reappear at any time and combine with other shapes.
