Panel: Narrative Immersion – Tati au Miel & Jeisson Drenth
11:15 – 12:00 

Together with MUTEK Montréal, FIBER joins forces at ADE for an artist panel focused on the cross-pollinations between sound, performance art and audiovisual technologies, used as storytelling media to make new sensory experiences and imagined realities exist. We are pleased to invite the Montréal-based performance artist and producer Tati au Miel (CA) and Amsterdam based media and performance artist Jeisson Drenth. The moderation is in the hands of Zoë Horsten.

With the artists, we will dive into their experimental work processes and learn from their interdisciplinary practice. How do they collaborate with other creative disciplines? What role does the use and access to advanced technological tools and world-building soft- and hardware play? How do they materialize research on queer identity, cultural heritage and the role of rituals in their work.

Performance: Tati Au Miel
17:00 – 17:30

Tati au Miel, a multi-disciplinary artist born and raised in Montreal, presents Rêverie, a new live performance that invites the audience into a state of daydreaming or being lost in thought. This guiding concept encourages reflections on the duality between the physical and virtual, the organic and artificial, and the enigmatic dimensions of life. The audiovisual performance features an interplay of live instrumentation, including bells, flutes, sensors, distorted vocals, and electronic soundscapes. 

This performance is part of the ADE Mixer powered by Ballantine’s True Music & shesaid.so

About the Artists

Tati au Miel (CA) is an alias of Montreal-born and raised multi-disciplinary artist Tania Daniel. Their practice encompasses sound, performance, sculpture, textile, and XR (extended reality), blending experimentation, narrative speculation, storytelling, and rituals to forge intimate experiences in their work. Their artistic expressions are deeply rooted in Haitian-Canadian heritage and fluid, queer gender identity, while examining the aesthetic history of black electronic music and its emancipatory potential.

Jeisson Drenth (NL) explores the possibilities and limitations of technologies for people to shape their past, present and future. His practice brings together video, sculpture, performance, poetry, and music. In his hands, the media become embedded with queer perspectives and his lived experience as an adopted person with a history of intercontinental migration

Performance: Noise Diva & orah (Live AV) | 21:30 – 22:20

FIBER Festival opens the evening of ADE Club Lab with an audiovisual performance in the Melkweg Cinema. No other than Noise Diva & orah will present When I Lost My Words, I Found My Voice (Live AV). “When I lost my words, I found my voice” is a live audio-visual collaboration between visual artist, moving image maker, and graphic designer Deborah Mora (orah)- (Italy, Netherlands) and multidisciplinary artist and researcher Yara Said also known under her sound producer pseudo Noise Diva (Syria, Netherlands).

For this new live AV work, the artists explore the soft tunnel, the powerful organ of the larynx. It is an air passage for breathing, it is the home of our vocal cords, the voice box, our tool for speaking and our instrument for singing and humming. But it is also the gate where many of our emotions are trapped. Reminiscing the Mediterranean biome and cultures, touching both artist’s homelands, we evoke the figure of the singing Siren, the woman poet, the growing daughter that strives to express her voice and find the place that nurtures her.

This performance was commissioned by Klankvorm.

About the artists

Noise Diva (Yara Said) is an Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the profound connections between sound, emotions, and visual aesthetics. With a keen focus on daily encounters, identity politics, and the representation of experiences, Yara’s artistic practice intertwines feminist theories with the exploration of sonic flows.

orah (Deborah Mora) collects, creates and manipulates images as a way to enact non-verbal storytelling. As an audiovisual artist, designer and narrator, she approaches visual materialities to carve the openings for experiences. Her practice is weaved in multidisciplinary collaborations and explorations with sound and movement artists, visual experimentations that expand and diversify through the music, the rhythms, the space, the movement and the body.

Workshop October 19

Hosted by Noise Diva & orah

De Brakke Grond, 17:00 – 18:00

Earlier in the day, there will be an opportunity to learn in an hour-long master class how these artists shaped the collaboration between image, sound, theory and personal archival work. A masterclass invites ADE Club Lab passholders to learn from the two creators. In what ways do they shape their making process? How do images and sounds come together into one narrative composition? More information about the masterclass can be found here.
