Other Spaces
Sabrina Ratté & Roger Tellier-Craig
Computer, video synthesizers, 3D animation
Inspired by the performative tradition that combines electronic sound and video art, visual artist Sabrina Ratté and electronic music composer Roger Tellier-Craig come together to present "Other Spaces", an audio-visual performance bringing together revisited existing works as well as new material. Through the creation of abstract architectural structures and electronic landscapes, Ratté's video images constantly dialogue with the ethereal sounds and futuristic impulses generated by Tellier-Craig. Together, they aim to create an immersive audiovisual experience where sound and image are inseparable.
Bio
Sabrina Ratté
Sabrina Ratté is a Canadian artist living in Montreal. Her practice focuses on the multiple manifestations of the digital image: analog video, 3D animation, photography, printing, sculpture, virtual reality and installation. The constant integration of new techniques allows her to explore the themes that run through her work in ever-changing forms: the influence of architecture and the digital environment on our perception of the world, the relationship we have with the virtual aspect of existence, the fusion between technology and the organic world. Her works are situated halfway between abstraction and figurative, landscape and architecture, and on the thin line that separates the real from the virtual.
