JOHNNY RANGER

I am an interdisciplinary video artist and creative director based in Montreal, and the founder of Mindroots, a connective creative studio specializing in immersive media and multimedia storytelling.

With over two decades of experience, I have worked at the intersection of art, performance, and technology, developing large-scale visual environments, immersive exhibitions, and multi-screen experiences.

Through the years i have been invited to present my art projects at at FILE festival (Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro), B3 Moving Image Biennial in Frankfurt, Ars Futura (Barcelona), at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (NYC), Temps d'Images (Usine C, Montreal, / Méduse Quebec), the Montreal Biennale, TransitioMX (Mexico), Mutek (Montreal), the Singapor international Film Festival, The National Taiwan Museum of fine arts and the Canadian Cultural Centre (Paris).

I have worked with choreographer, stage director and media companies, collaborated with the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), Cirque du Soleil,Supply & demand, 4U2C, Moment Factory, I also was for 3 years co-creative director and artistic director at OASIS Immersion participating in  the conception and design of 6 art-based immersive exhibitions located within the Montreal Convention center.

My practice spans the full creative pipeline — from concept development and narrative design to visual direction, team building, production supervision, and final execution. I directed multimedia performances, 360-degree dome films, music videos, and large-scale projection environments.

Specializing in:

• Immersive and experiential media

• Multi-screen and unconventional projection formats

• Non-linear narrative design

• Editing precise rigorous narrative film works or social media films

• Interdisciplinary collaboration across visual arts, performance, sound, and digital technology

• Mix media team leadership

Whether building a team from the ground up or integrating into an existing production structure, I always bring strong conceptual clarity, production experience, and the ability to translate artistic vision into technically viable and audience-focused outcomes.

My work consistently bridges creative innovation with operational execution, delivering immersive experiences that engage audiences across cultural and commercial contexts.

I am as much as ease in the role of direction or truly can adapt myself as a collaborative component & co-creator within highly skilled creative teams.
