LISE-HÉLÈNE LARIN PhD
Artiste multidisciplinaire & chercheure
"I use the virtual camera in my 3D software to expand on photography. Photography normally documents reality
but here it is imagination that I digitally represent and animate. I invented the concept of the "simulated photo" to
describe the process of finding a place between 3D animation and photography."
A PROPOS
Artiste multidisciplinaire et chercheure en art visuel et médiatique, Lise-Hélène Larin enseigne le dessin à l’Université Concordia depuis 1984. Elle enseigne aussi à Dawson depuis 1987. Elle a reçu une bourse d’excellence pour sa recherche en animation 3D qu’elle questionne par l’abstraction.
Son utilisation de multiples écrans transparents crée un nouveau rapport à l'image et détourne l'animation 3D de sa fonction de simulation narrative qui lui vient du cinéma. Depuis 2000, elle a exposé son travail à Montréal, en France, aux États-Unis, en Belgique et en Allemagne. En 2011, elle a obtenu un PhD en Études et pratiques des arts à l’UQAM.

ABOUT
I am a multidisciplinary artist whose tactile sculptures turned virtual. I create non-figurative 3D animated films that question sculpture and painting as well as photography and 3D animation. I received a prize of excellence for my research in 3D animation. Since 2002, my 3D work was selected three times at Siggraph and was part of a travelling show all over Europe and the United States. I showed my films in Belgium and at the Sony Centre in Berlin.
I like to exploit the hybrid nature of my 3D software but it is its photographic component that could renew photography in an unusual way. The virtual camera I use not only captures my mise-en-scènes but produces simulated photos the reference of which remains in the imagination. The title of this series of simulated photos is SHIFTING TERRAINS. It implies the play on perception involved in reading them as well as the fact that software photography could bring new experiences for the spectator.
