In the last two decades, multimedia research community had made major achievements in different areas such as content analysis, processing and retrieval; systems and networks as well as multimedia tools and applications. Nevertheless, producing multimedia content integrating texts, images, videos and audio is still complex and time-consuming. For example, in their everyday work, new media artists and creators face the complexity and difficulties of multimedia art creation, installation, delivery and archiving.

In this talk, we will present our collaborative work with colleagues from the School of Visual and Media Arts at UQAM in the framework of Hexagram, the Institute for Research/Creation in Media Arts and Technologies. We will present different research projects where we investigate mobility, adaptability and representation for new forms of narrative in audio-video artwork.
