TOPO<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Digital Creation Centre<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

TOPO is a Montreal-based artist-run centre whose mission is to assist and equip artists in their exploration of contemporary digital art practices.
\n\u00a0
\nIts training, creation, dissemination and outreach activities contribute to the development of its field of practice, at the intersection of visual arts, literature and digital media. The centre assists, supports and carries out interactive projects, hosts artists in residence, offers specialized workshops, and engages in the community through cultural outreach initiatives. Its dissemination component explores innovative modes of presentation for digital works through exhibition, performance, publication and circulation activities.
\n\u00a0
\nA member of the Pied Carr\u00e9 group, the centre occupies a multifunctional production space open to the community and an exhibition space located on the first floor of the P\u00f4le de Gasp\u00e9, a creative hub in Montreal\u2019s Mile End district.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

TOPO was founded in Montreal on 1993. The centre grew out of the will of its founding members to develop a structure for the organization of collective and multidisciplinary projects that integrate the disciplines of photography and literature.<\/p>\n

With the development of digital technologies, TOPO\u2019s mandate has naturally grown to occupy the Web as a territory of creation and dissemination. In 1998, TOPO co-produced \u201cLiquidation, a web-audio fiction\u201d and started its Web activity. From that point on, the organization became active in an ongoing manner in the media arts sector. Since then, TOPO has created and produced Web art projects, most of them collective, with more than one hundred artists from the fields of visual and media arts, theatre, audio, and literature.<\/p>\n

While aiming to produce more original content for the Web, TOPO is also interested in presenting and distributing independent multimedia artworks on the Web and on disks (CD, DVD-ROM, and video). In 2001, the centre launched the \u201cElectronic Showcase\u201d as a space for the promotion and presentation of artistic and experimental multimedia works. In 2005, TOPO began to disseminate its Web works through publication, exhibition, and performance activities. In 2007, in partnership with Laboratoire NT2 (New technologies, new textualities) of the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, TOPO initiated the \u201cSortir de l\u2019\u00e9cran\/Spoken Screen\u201d series, which presents media works with a performative dimension. Finally, in 2013, the organization published a major book on .(La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de Conservation du Pr\u00e9sent), a Quebec collective that prefigured the use of electronic networks and computer programming for art and was active from 1985 to 1994.<\/p>\n

In Qu\u00e9bec, TOPO is a pioneer in the field of interactive fiction and has served as an incubator for a number of visual artists, performers, and writers who want to experiment with the Web and interactive devices. TOPO occupies a unique niche in the digital arts network, distinguishing itself, notably, for its exploration of new forms of narrativity.<\/p>\n

In spring 2014, TOPO relocated into the P\u00f4le de Gasp\u00e9 and took advantage of the move to open a new exhibition space on the ground floor, the Vitrine, where it presents media installations on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

TOPO is actively involved in its community, and the years to come offer both promise and challenges.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
