Tom Demers
Tom Demers is a photographer and sound artist. His autobiographical sound language is intrinsically linked to the sounds of nature: he tries to translate sounds and music into a sensitive non-verbal experience of these places where he borrows alternative identities ranging from lighthouse keeper (2015 to 2018 and 2021), adventure guide (2017 and 2018) or mechanic (2019 to present). From 2016 to 2018 he was the coordinator of Résidence Nomade, which hosted contemporary artists in residence on Anticosti Island. He is now working on the construction of electronic synthesizers and instruments aimed at translating into sounds and music natural electromagnetic phenomena imperceptible to the human ear (thunderstorms, northern lights, earthquakes, etc.) in the goal of exploring sound matter beyond the spectrum of natural hearing.
