bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Activated Memory, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Sabrina Ratté.
Activated Memory is a two video
project based on animated photographs of different parks and buildings
of Montreal. Through the use of video feedback, 3D animation and color
manipulations, the pictures render a new kind of space, a virtual world
where only fragments of "reality" subsist. The music accompaniment is
composed by Roger Tellier-Craig.
In Activated Memory I, a video created for The Download section of rhizome.org,
parks appear through a very minimalist form composed by trees and
grass. It is a journey through the parks disposal and their interaction
with light, almost creating a surreal experience while studying
symmetric relationships between various elements like dunes, bridges,
lost routes and nature. The park and its imaginary recall childhood
visits and the way of looking at things, almost like a hologram of an
idealised memory.
Activated Memory II, created exclusively for bubblebyte.org,
uses buildings as the main subject of observation. As a counterpoint to
parks, buildings are characterised by angular forms and opaque
surfaces. Architecture is used as a point of departure to create
instability. Buildings discompose their limits into the frame while the
geometric original shapes and dimensions of the image loose control to
create an entrance to a chaotic space where forms become liquid.
The private view attendees will receive a downloadable artifact exclusively created by the artist here.b. 1982 – Quebec city, QC.
Currently lives Montreal Qc.
