On Radio-Canada: Le souffle selon Avery Lake

On Radio-Canada: Le souffle selon Avery Lake

This past Saturday, I was invited onto Culture et confiture, an ICI Première Radio-Canada program, to speak about The Gift of Breath and what it means to make art at the boundary between the human and the machine.

The conversation covered the five works in the collection: the physical sculpture, the interactive digital rituals, and the protocol written for machines. Host Marc Fournier and producer Mireille Langlois asked questions I rarely get to sit with in public: what draws a bioethicist toward making art, and why breath, of all things.

The interview is in French and runs 17 minutes. Listen to the segment on Radio-Canada OHdio.
