Synopsis
In the summer of 2013, composer Gheorghe Costinescu commissioned artist Michel Gagné to create an animated visualization based on his 1973 work, Dots, Lines, and Patchesfor recorded electronic sounds. The experiment resulted in a true synesthetic rendition where senses overlap and blend with one another.
Michel Gagné studied animation at Sheridan College School of Visual Arts in Ontario, Canada and in 1985 began a highly successful artistic career. Renowned for his unique vision, Michel has lent his talent to several animation companies, such as Don Bluth Studios, Warner Bros., Disney, Pixar, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, etc. His creative work can be seen in over twenty feature films including The Iron Giant, Osmosis Jones and Ratatouille. Aside from his studio work, Michel is a determined entrepreneur who has created work in a wide range of media, from live performances to gallery exhibits.
