The public is invited to take part in an exclusive tour with Daniel Iregui, digital artist and founder of Iregular, who designed the interactive installation for the exhibition Becoming Montreal: The 1800s Painted by Duncan. Participants will discover how the digital art studio has used artificial intelligence, informed by all of Duncan’s available works, and a projection that incorporates the viewers’ movements, to create this unique immersive experience!
About Mental Maps – Digital artwork by Iregular
To complement the exhibition Becoming Montreal: The 1800s Painted by Duncan, the Museum commissioned a piece from the digital art studio Iregular, who fed James Duncan’s images of yesteryear Montreal to artificial intelligence. The studio then designed a three-dimensional virtual world of computer-generated images made of layers of superimposed topographies.
The experiential work offers a vision of what the world could look like through the eyes of someone whose entire reality is modelled after an artist’s illustrations. Visitors are invited to wander through this virtual space, as their moving shadows hide or reveal unexpected layers. The result is a unique, constantly changing experience that creates shifting dreamscapes derived from Duncan’s work.
