Lydia Yakonowsky is a Canadian visual artist based in Montreal, working at the crossroads of digital arts, immersive short films, and performance. She utilizes digital technologies to create real- time visual compositions, which she then captures and transforms into standalone pieces.

Lydia specializes in the fulldome format. Her work reinterprets the visual elements of graphics and econometric models, which are the
foundation of her training. This approach questions the utility and reliability of modern economic models. The result is a vast statistical choreography where dismantled grids, wandering parabolas, and strings of data intertwine, all freed from their original functions.

Her latest projects, such as her real-time performance ARIMA, explores the theme of forecast errors, highlighting the fragility of quantitative systems and the inherent uncertainty in predicting human behavior through data.

Lydia's first dome short film, Introduction to Econometrics, won the Local Talent Award at SATFEST 2022, held in Montreal at the Society for
Arts and Technology.
