Professor of electrical engineering at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), Ghyslain Gagnon is interested in the development and combination of advanced techniques of signal processing, microelectronics and artificial intelligence. His fields of interest are varied, as evidenced by his numerous scientific contributions.

Jean Dubois & Ghyslain Gagnon ^CA/QC — Le circuit de Bachelard

Lumino kinetic installation situated at École de technologie supérieure, in Montréal. This strange assemblage of electroacoustic light elements pays homage to the intellectual trajectory of philosopher Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962). Interweaving avant-garde notions of reason and imagination, Bachelard helped inspire a societal model profoundly marked by scientific and artistic creativity. This group work was produced as part of the 40th anniversary of Université du Québec’s École de technologie supérieure.
