Summary
Alex Gagnon is an interdisciplinary artist and independent scholar based in Montreal with three decades of practice at the intersection of images, text, and sound and 14 years of formal professional experience. He blends critical philosophy, art historiography, archival science, signal processing, and computer science to create research-driven field art and media projects. As a self-employed practitioner and former content analyst, painter-entrepreneur, and gaffer, he brings hands-on production skills alongside theoretical rigor. Trained in computer-assisted sound design, he combines analogue craft with computational methods to surface overlooked archival and sonic narratives. Known as a "Field artist / Artiste de Terrain," he moves fluidly between studio, archive, and code to produce work that is as investigatory as it is experiential.
