We invite you to the first version of a unique work in augmented reality signed Adèle Blais. You will discover the history of Berthe Morisot, Marylin Monroe, Ada Blackjack, Hedy Lamarr, Frida Kahlo as well as of La Bolduc in a highlight carried by the paintings of Adèle Blais and the narration of women all in resonance with the artwork. Dominique Pétin, Christine Beaulieu, Marion Cotillard, Gaële, Alexandra Diaz, Ludivine Reding, Dominique Michel and Caroline Dhavernas lend their voices to the texts of Sophie Baudeuf and Julie Boisvert. You will also be able to measure your knowledge as well as learn more about the exploits of women who have marked history, through an augmented reality quiz. Observe the canvases up close and find elements hidden there, letting the Seek and Find guide you. Adèle also talks to you about her method of creation and invites you to make it your own. This application is a living work that will see the addition of subsequent paintings. “Putting ourselves at the service of these stories through art and its intangible energy required that we make ourselves available and that we become translators of stories much bigger than ourselves. It was also to experience at times the deep wound that all of humanity carries in its heart, that which, in my opinion, is the result of that part of our history that is missing.
