Nelly-Eve Rajotte

Nelly-Ève Rajotte is a professor at the School of Design at UQAM, where she leads the Moving Image and Sound Design research axis. A visual and media artist, she 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 favor of perceptual alterities and non-human points of view. Recognized for their monumental scale and immersive intensity, her works engage viewers in experiences that reconsider notions of presence, mediation, and cohabitation with technological and living systems.

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).

Her works are included in several public collections, including that of Hydro-Québec.
