Combining hand shot footage of experimental sensual delights with a wide variety of digitally created and manipulated custom material, Carrie's style is unique, edgy, and tantalizing. Motion becomes magical, colors become cosmic, reality becomes radical. Hearty portions of fantastic lusciousness will be served up for your fateful feasting pleasure. She investigates problems of performativity and the abstraction of eros through a living, moving collage of challenging fantasy scenes intermingled with digital imagery representing desire, violence, and tension in a world of disembodied technological communication.

Carrie Gates has been working in the realms of VJing, DJing, and sound art since the mid 1990s. She also curates interactive art and sound events, such as the recent Unslumber SoundCamp (AKA Gallery and holophon.ca) and the Z-Axis exhibition (Paved Arts). She has recently shown her new brainwave-controlled VJ mixing system (supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Saskatchewan Arts Board, and Soil Digital Media Suite).

A great lover of traveling, she has presented a number of VJ works at various festivals and special events (Queer City Cinema, Electric Fields, send + receive, Motion Notion, Connect, Digidome, etc.). Carrie competed in two VJing competitions, one in Toronto at AV Deathmatch (2007, won!) and in Geneva at the Mapping Festival (2010). At the Mapping Festival, Carrie also participated in a "Wiki Sprint" dedicated to studying collaborative knowledge through rewriting the Wikipedia page on VJing. She is currently collaborating with various independent sound and performance artists to expand the possibilities for new types of creativity in performative video mixing to emerge.
