User talk:Stephanie Koett

Stéphanie obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts Studio as well as a specialization in photography and a background in history of photography at the University of Ottawa in 1998. Stéphanie is a French Canadian Métis woman who worked for both the University of Ottawa as a technician in photography and at the National Gallery of Canada while completing her degree in fine arts. The National gallery of Canada gave Stéphanie the opportunity to alongside revolutionary artists such as Char Davies. Her  Virtual reality exhibition, Éphémère converted Stephanie to the world of digital illuminations.

This is the source of inspiration for many of Stéphanie’s productions. She produced many multimedia exhibitions in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. Surreal events at her mother’s funeral led the artist to flee the country. Motivated by other artists such as Amy Jenkins and Josee Drouin-Brisebois, the artist found the courage to produce works to appease her soul. These works were exhibited in London, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece.

When her first child Phoénix was born in 2004, she decided to return to her studies and received a second degree in Art Education with a minor in religious studies. She is now the proud mother of Phoénix, Paul and Topaz Koett. Stephanie has been dedicated to the education of fine arts and technology at Victor-Brodeur from 2005 to 2012. Her passion with digital photography has led her to design and create a software program to manipulate images, allowing her students to recycle their art. She reveals that this could not have been possible without husband, Joel Koett who helped program the software which gave birth to her project.

The program, "Frakétoil"e or "Mirror Magic" essentially implodes or explodes the echoed images allowing the viewer to experience a type of brain stimulation enhancing a sense of balance between the two hemispheres. Stéphanie feels that her program can be used for both therapeutic and aesthetic purposes. “I just love to see my student’s eyes light up when they find new images within their own…like little eureka moments oozing from osmosis transcendence. Imagination grows and revelations are found embedded within the reflections of their original images.” Her students become empowered by this technology, giving them a voice within a new visual world.

Stephanie is currently working on her Masters in Art Education at the University of Victoria and is embarking on a few independent projects for the future alliance of Millennial artists in Canada. Her Exegesis is nearly completed and a new series of “Photoshop Palimpsests” are under construction.
