Ultra K is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal and born in Mexico City. She writes and performs her own musique, utilizing cameras and AR/VR technologies to create immersive performances. Her self-produced avatars and animations create opportunities for the audience to interact with her augmented reality worlds. Karina comes from a family of musicians and was influenced deeply by her mother who is a drummer and singer. She went on to completing classical vocal training school and was a singing teacher for many years before immigrating to Canada from Mexico in 2000. Her songs tell the stories of an immigrant and an empowered woman. She writes songs in English, French, and Spanish and has collaborated with artists from all over the world. She is recognized by her style of live looping operatic vocals with electronic drum beats, jumping between the experimental music styles, trip hop , opera, folktronic and theatrical performance. The AR/VR technologies she is developing in her live act and visual AI generated art is influenced by symbols and archetypes of Mexican culture and other magic legends. In 2021, while participating in a CAC residency, she started a new tech platform accessible to minorities of the Montreal underground music scene named iFeel Ultra Kulture. She was awarded, Best Female Artist, by Heritage Hispanique Quebec. She self produces XR performances. Photos @oliver_piquant
