A visual and media artist, Nelly-Eve Rajotte develops a practice rooted in immersive installation and performance that interrogates contemporary conditions of perceptual experience.
Working with moving image and sound, her projects explore non-human regimes of vision and machinic forms of landscape imaging, drawing on technologies such as LiDAR, biosensors, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Her research-creation is grounded in an inquiry into the sensitive relationships between technology, the body, and the environment, proposing immersive dispositifs that displace anthropocentric perspectives in favour of perceptual alterities and non-human points of view.
Her work has been presented in numerous institutional and curatorial contexts in Quebec and internationally, including the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée d’art de Joliette, Contemporary Calgary, Emerson Contemporary (US), as well as Occurrence, Clark, Optica, and Circa. It has also been featured in major international festivals and events such as MUTEK (Montreal, Argentina, Mexico, and Japan), Transmediale (Berlin), the International Festival of Films on Art, the International Short Film Festival of Berlin, Lab30, ISEA, and the KIKK Festival (Belgium).
Nelly-Eve Rajotte – Les arbres communiquent entre eux à 220 Hertz
Live A/V | World premiere
In Les arbres communiquent entre eux à 220 Hertz, Nelly-Eve Rajotte combines moving image, generative sound, and biosensitive devices, transforming the dome into a boreal landscape where spectator and environment dissolve into one. With a modular synthesizer connected to a living tree, she simulates the organic sounds of the forest, opening space for contemplation on new forms of non-human perception of the living world.
This project is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts (CAC), made possible through the support of CALQ and the SAT residency program, as well as the support of the School of Digital Arts, Animation and Design at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (NAD-UQAC) and the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).
