Martin Messier creates artworks in which sound art meets light, robotic and video. In the form of performances and installations, these works place the body front and center. After studying composition at l’Université de Montréal, Messier began an experimental sound practice that integrated video images. He quickly developed performative audiovisual apparatuses that brought everyday objects and the sound potential of their various materials to the stage.

In 2010, he established 14 lieux, a company dedicated to producing performative and installative artworks, and has been its general and artistic director since then. He lives and works in Montreal.
