Both are modifying an old expedition backpack. These modifications will be used to carry a retractable stool equipped with an electronic recording system which will translate the physical environment in sounds in an abstract way, which could constitute the main trace of its deployments. With this performative object, they will perform in diptych a series of free interventions in the public space and in the "non-lieux" of our distinctive environments. (Nady in Beauce region and Stéphanie in Greater Montreal).

Through the construction and use of this object, they also attempt to observe the results of the mapping of various areas. For example, they chose to have an object (utilitarian and industrial) coexist with the public space. In the construction of the device, it was also clear that this object would be mobile and portable, when in reality, a stool is made to be useful in a specific place. What does the encounter of these universes provoke or propose? Throughout reflections and experiments, they have the instinct to associate elements with different connotations. These associations are brought together to create new spaces of reflection.

In addition to the idea of ​​the stepladder, the shelter is very important to the artists. They want the object in question to serve as a shelter in the public/natural space. If we are at a place where we feel safe, we can observe it from several points of view, tame it, live it, settle in it. The stool can be deployed to create a temporary shelter and invite people to sit and chat.

The object/stepladder/shelter will be able to testify of these uses, the environments where it was deployed, the people whom it met. This performative object can evolve with time and observations. A nomadic object, adaptable, utilitarian, but none of these at the same time.

Laliberté & Boisjoly inverventions are accessible on a website created by the artists.

Nady Larchet makes great use of new technologies and also makes her own machines that serve as tools or presentation devices. Sound is an important aspect of her research, as well as the technological contribution she uses and questions at the same time. It examines the notions of questioning and demonstrates the impact that certain social, political, economic, ecological and technological developments have on the human and his environment. In her recent work, she has been interested in the presence of waves, signals and particles in suspension in our environment, as well as the impacts they have on us, while at the same time looking at the responsibility of the human facing these invisible presences.

Interdisciplinary, Stéphanie Nuckle combines performative art, installation, drawing, printed art as well as methods of alteration and diversion of everyday objects. Originally from Laval, she has a particular sensitivity to the problems of the suburbs, the city and the development of art in her community. Her projects therefore focus on different types of human interactions with the territory, taking into account language, collective memory, environment, housing and cartography as subjects for research and experimentation. Between city and suburbs, this is through discrete interventions that she tries to activate the public space and "non-places", during the time needed for a walk, a route, or even an occupation.
