Film/Video/Live Visual processing

Elsa divides her time and work between New York, Lisbon and Santarem, Portugal. Currently, she is exploring multiple modes of visual communication, primarily through 16mm film, digital video and live visual processing, using coded language and movement, and how they affect and are affected by the nervous system. In addition to her own work, Elsa is deeply involved in bringing new media and digital art to a broader global community as part of her vision for RogueWaves (http://roguewaves.net), a company she founded in 2002, the goal of which is the furthering and evolution of counter-current, revolutionary ideas around the world through artistic experimentation and/or collaboration. To this end, she is starting a residency for international artists on a farm in Santarem, Portugal beginning in March of 2008. Sometime in the near future, Elsa plans to bring SHARE (http://share.dj), a weekly multimedia event with which she is involved as one of many volunteer organizers and administrators, to Portugal as part of her vision for RogueWaves.
