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, 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.<br>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.

A/V performance Muu à Mutek le 30 mai 2012.

Muu sera présenté dans le cadre de Mutek pour le programme A/Vision 1 au Monument National le mercredi 30 mai a 20h.
A/VISIONS 1, 2, 3: Monument-National, 20H
En soirée, les festivaliers seront conviés aux programmes de la série A/VISIONS, présentés dans la salle Ludger-Duvernay du Monument National, et offrant une expérience visuelle et sonore, immersive et exploratoire, souvent née d’audacieuses collaborations, élaborées par d’aventureux artistes issus des quatre coins du monde.
Le mercredi regroupera trois performances différentes durant lesquelles le spectateur sera d’abord mené par la québécoise NELLY-EVE RAJOTTE en pleine Amérique mythique, esthétiquement inspirée du genre cinématographique Western Spaghetti. Puis, l’américain LUSTMORD et le norvégien BIOSPHERE, deux pionniers de la musique ambiante, nous transportent dans le désert du Nouveau Mexique, au lendemain de premiers essais nucléaires, avec « Trinity », œuvre commandée par les festivals Unsound New-York et Communikey et présentée en première canadienne. L’australien ROBIN FOX clôturera cette première séance, avec son fameux show laser, d’une élégante et complexe distorsion sonore et visuelle.

A/Visions 1 to 3: Monument-National, 8pm
Come evening, festivalgoers are invited to the first of MUTEK’s central showcases, the A/Visions Series. These three sit-down showcases at Monument-National’s Salle Ludger-Duvernay offer a bold fusion of extraordinary sight and immersive sound from some of the most adventurous international electronic artists at work in the world today.
Wednesday, audiences will be treated to three vastly different interpretations of corroded desert music.  Quebec’s NELLY-EVE RAJOTTE opens the soirée with an ode to the mythical desert landscapes of the Spaghetti Western, followed by the Canadian premiere and third-ever presentation of a new collaboration by two towering figures in ambient-music history, Norway’s BIOSPHERE and Los Angeles’ LUSTMORD, who will present “Trinity”, a work commissioned and premiered by Unsound New York, in partnership with Communikey.  The work was conceived and developed in the deserts of New Mexico, where nuclear testing has corrupted the landscape permanently.  Finally, Australia’s ROBIN FOX presents a must-see laser show layered with radioactive evocations.
