Gabriela Hébert is an interdisciplinary artist based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Her practice centers on presence, where sound, body, and technology become compositional materials. Working across performance, installation, and interactive systems, she creates immersive environments where gesture activates sound and transforms space.
Her work examines the body as an interface, exploring the tension between control and emergence within responsive systems. Through custom electronics, wearable interfaces, and scenography, she develops performances and installations where technology amplifies subtle states of presence, translating gesture into sonic and spatial transformation. The work exists not as a fixed object, but within the relationships it generates, between bodies, sound, and environment.
Her projects have been presented at institutions and festivals including the Art Museum of Cluj-Napoca (Romania), CIRMMT (Montreal), and Sporobole (Sherbrooke). Her recent work includes THE BLACK COAT and Merging Species, two performance works in which wearable electronic systems translate gesture into responsive sonic and spatial environments.
Alongside her artistic practice, she has worked with artist Martin Messier in the development and production of installation and performance works. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Musiques numériques from the Université de Montréal.
