Tiffany Carbonneau’s practice interrogates the past to make sense of the present and examines personal, national and global contexts to make sense of specific places. She combines digital and historical processes to create animations, installations, and architectural video projections that activate architectural, geographic and social histories. Utilizing projection-mapping technologies and large-venue projection systems allows the content of her videos to feel embedded into three-dimensional space where viewers can physically experience moving images in moments that are ingrained in everyday life.
Tiffany’s work has been exhibited internationally at The University of Hamburg, Move Light Festival in Lodz, Poland, Infecting the City Public Art Festival in Cape Town, South Africa, and The Toronto Urban Film Festival in Toronto, Ontario. Nationally, her architectural projections have been exhibited during Northern Spark outdoor art festival in Minneapolis, IN Light IN: Indianapolis Light Festival, Lumen: International Video Art and Performance Festival and Fountain Art Fair at The 69th Regiment Armory both in New York City, Inlight Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, Currents New Media Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Free State Film and Art Festival in Lawrence, Kansas, as well as other traditional and non-traditional venues in Miami, San Diego, Louisville, and Cleveland. Supported by a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts, her public commission, Illuminate Oregon City, consisted of a seventy-foot outdoor video projection on display nightly for one year in Oregon City, Oregon.
Tiffany lived in the suburban Chicago area until she was nineteen, when she moved to Flagstaff, Arizona to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and a Bachelor of Science in Art Education at Northern Arizona University. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Ohio University in 2010 and currently resides in New Albany, Indiana with her husband, Brian, her daughter June, and her dog, Oliver.
