Nelly-Eve Rajotte

Professor at the School of Design at UQAM, where she leads the Moving Image and Sound Design research axis. A visual and media artist, her practice engages time-based media, moving image, sound, immersion and the experiential dimension of perception, explored through performance and installation. Her research-creation focuses particularly on non-human modes of landscape capture, using LiDAR, biosensors, artificial intelligence, and robotics, while examining the sensitive entanglements between technology, the body, and the environment. Her works, recognized for their immersive and monumental presence, challenge conditions of reception and open new forms of perceptual otherness.

In Quebec, her projects have been presented at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MACM), the Musée d’art de Joliette (MAJ), Fonderie Darling, Occurrence, Clark, Optica, and Circa. Internationally, her work has circulated in festivals and events such as MUTEK (CA, JP, MX, AR), the International Festival of Films on Art, the KIKK Festival (Belgium), Transmediale (Berlin), ISEA, Lab30 (Germany), and the International Short Film Festival of Berlin. Her upcoming exhibitions include solo presentations at Contemporary Calgary (CA) and Emerson Contemporary (Boston, US) in 2026. Her works are part of several public collections, including that of Hydro-Québec.
