Skoltz\_kolgen is a plurimedia work cell based in Montreal, comprising
dominique [t] skoltz and herman w kolgen. Rigorous and raucous
creators,their artistic pursuits plumb the integral linkages between
sound and image. Skoltz\_Kolgen create liminal worlds that exist in the
nebulous territory between inner and outer space. Penetrating the
ephemeral skin between solid matter and the unsubstantiated, the
intimate and the objective, their work conjures bewitched worlds that
gestate betwixt accident and intent. This liminal quality bleeds into
all aspects of Skoltz\_Kolgen's practice, from the conceptual to the
technical, as they balance on the cusp of art and science. Liberated by
digital media they simultaneously assume numerous positions, inhabiting
a space between film, photography, audio art, and installation. Their
synergistic practice encompasses expanded cinema, explorations of the
subtle and visceral qualities of sound, and hybrid forms of digitally
enabled synaesthesia. Architects of worlds that simultaneously inhabit
us as we inhabit them, Skoltz\_Kolgen inquisitively seek out the intimate
material and ineffable substance of life.
