The Usine C is a multidisciplinary and historical theatrical venue with an industrial feel, which includes two rooms for various performances. The project at Usine C is quite particular, as the mandate of SHOWSDT was to update the rigging and control system, but recovering all the elements that were still functional and useful for the multipurpose room.

SHOWSDT was selected as the supplier of the stage curtains to replace all existing curtains at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa for Southam Hall and the Theatre. Over 1.6 km of fabric was supplied for this project in the form of black velvet masking, black and white scrims and cycloramas.

JOEL Theatrical, a subcontractor of Solotech, supplied and integrated all of the audiovisual equipment for the experience, provided curtains and tracks to be installed on the many massive windows that run along the power plant to block out the light for the first performances.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is emblematic for the quality of its television productions. Artotech / Joel is proud to have completed one of its most important projects to date, La Nouvelle Maison de Radio-Canada. A design-build project in collaboration with Broccolini, Go Multimedia, SNC-Lavalin and XYZ Technologie culturelle. The work for this important mandate was carried out from October 2018 to August 2020.

Artotech Integration was mandated by the Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal (SHDM) to provide the following elements of lot 6.4: acquisition and installation of scenographic equipment for the Îlot Balmoral project, located at 1501 De Bleury Street, in Montreal.

The MMR Multimedia Room in the Elizabeth Wirth Pavilion of the Schulich School of Music at McGill University has been completely renovated to allow for near-perfect and controllable acoustics, serving as a testing laboratory as well as a concert and music recording room.

Robert Charlebois is one of the greats of Quebec's chanson. To celebrate his 50 years of career, Robert Charlebois wanted to give a new youth to his songs, while offering them a resolutely modern and enchanting visual.

A brand new contribution to the Colisée de Trois-Rivières, in collaboration with XYZ Technologies.
