Jean-Michel Rolland is a French artist born in 1972.
A musician and a painter for a long time, he manages to melt his two passions - sound and image - in video art and audiovisual performances since 2010. At the origin of each of his creations, musicality plays a role as important as image does and each one influences the other by transmediality. The result is a series of experimental videos and performances where sound and image are so inseparable that the one without the other would lose its meaning.
His videos have been screened in french and international video festivals such as Vidéoformes, Instants Vidéos, Directors Lounge, Traverse Vidéo, K3 International Short Film Festival, Madatac, Screengrab, DokumentART, Cologne Off and much more. He won several prizes amongst them the most innovative work prize at Digital Graffiti (Florida, USA) in June 2012 with his work Neons Melody and features in an article dedicated to video art in Elephant Magazine n°11.
