Elysha Poirier
Elysha Poirier is a multidisciplinary artist working with animation, film, and video for live performance. Working with digital and analog methods, she creates playful conversations between generative art and video. Elysha's work is deeply connected to sound and working alongside musicians. She translates audio into real-time graphics - transporting the viewer to an imaginative world where boundaries and thresholds are inverted, rearranged, and transposed. From these sources, she creates complex worlds of their own - introspective terrains that are inherently emotional - like the peaks and valleys of our internal landscapes. Elysha has realized a wide range of installations and engaged in performances for dance, experimental music, live cinema, and theatre.
