Still Life
about
Mike Pelletier (1978) is a Canadian artist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
-
Working in mediums such as 3D animation and kinetic installation, his work bridges the divide between digital and physical space. Using technologies such as motion capture, body scanning, and body tracking, his work examines classical art’s obsession with portraiture and adds to it an androgynous, posthuman, and often uncanny protohuman aesthetic. His work thus critiques modern technology’s essentializing archetypes and movements to bring to light various modes of performance and representation in the contemporary era. Pelletier’s work has been shown in the US, UK, Canada, Netherlands, Germany, Romania, Brazil, Spain, and Mexico, among others.
