Featured video artists are Marc Boucher, Mario Côté, Laurent Lamarche, Paul Landon, Lise-Hélène Larin, Christine Palmiéri and Denyse Therrien.

Fusion is the art genre that best mirrors our 21 century with its constant chaos, multi-sensory bombardment, and ever-advancing technology. No other art form has captured the vicissitudes and capriciousness of life like fusion does. It is an attempt to break the conventions by refusing to be linearly creative. It is the seamless interdisciplinary integration of all artistic mediums, a merging of painting, sculpture, light, sound, video projection, photography, performance and the written word. It is art that melds or fuses the various genres into a genre of its very own. The concept behind fusion art is to explore an alternative to the common artistic process of simply following a linear sequence in creating art. It is the understanding that art is limitless and therefore a multiple of all multiples. Fusion art, by definition, is limited only by its creator. It is art that needs to be revisited over and over again because one visit is never quite enough.
