BIO
Iregular is a Montreal-based digital art studio that creates audiovisual installations, large-scale sculptures, architectural projections and scenographies, with a focus on interactive and immersive experiences.
At the crossroads between art and technology, these artworks experiment with geometry, light, sound, typography, mathematics, algorithms, communication protocols, AI, and machine learning. Iregular also develops its own proprietary technologies.
The studio works with the infinite and random combinations produced by interactive systems that the audience influences and transforms. The interaction is at the core of it all. It is only the relationship between the people and the piece that finalizes the artwork and gives it meaning.
Iregular was founded in 2010 by Colombian-Canadian artist Daniel Iregui.
LED screen (1x3m) and motorized speakers (x3)
NEST is a sound-focused digital artwork that draws inspiration from the harmonious formations perceived in nature and the instinctive defence mechanisms of insect colonies as humans approach their natural habitat.
This modular piece is the first to use SONAR, Iregular's new sound location technology that changes the way we are used to experiencing interactive art. Combining a proprietary tracking system, directional ultrasonic speakers, robotic arms, and very specific sound design, NEST follows participants and exposes every person present in the very same room to a different sonic reality.
