Francis Ouellette (fdg.)
| Francis Ouellette (fdg.) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work moves between design, sound, moving image, and archival practices. With a background in Computation Arts and ongoing graduate research in Design, his practice is grounded in the study of contamination, environmental change, and the material traces of urban ecologies in flux. His work explores the aesthetic, political, and ecological implications of decay, degradation, and the slow violence embedded within everyday infrastructures. His current research, Residual Matter, renders this visible through the transformation of foraged materials into inks, dyes, biomaterials and substrates made of waste. Through this practice, he develops methods for sensing toxicity, mapping degraded landscapes, and articulating ecological vulnerabilities across urban spaces. He is a member of the Milieux Institute's Speculative Life BioLab, Textiles & Materiality, and Hexagram Network. He has worked with PHI, Centre CLARK, Applied AI Institute, AIM Lab, and Conférences Hypothèses, contributing to projects that combine documentation, artistic inquiry, and public engagement. His projects with Jessie Stainton; Wasteland, Path is a Spiral, and Spaces of Wonder, explore site-specific environmental concerns through sound walking, video, and material experimentation. Their ongoing collaboration developed during the SÍM Artist Residency in Iceland extends his interest in environmental sensing, human/nonhuman entanglements, and the aesthetic registers of climate conflict. He is a member of Interzone Editions, operates the No Exp label, and enjoys recording mixes for his Memory Archive radio show. |
