Erased Dots and Rotten Dashes
Abstract:Wall Visiting Artist Paul DeMarinis will discuss several of his investigations into media-historical objects accompanied by some musings on works created in their image. DeMarinis’ works playfully consider the inarticulate ideas and dreams that technical artefacts and mechanisms embody, speculating about the origins of metaphors inscribed in such often seemingly archaic and obsolete technologies.
Bio:Paul DeMarinis is Associate Professor for Sound and Media at Stanford University. He has been an Artist-in-Residence at Wesleyan University, the Exploratorium, and at Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, California. In the early 1980s Paul was a video game designer for Atari before a decade-long stint teaching at the San Francisco Art Institute. He has received numerous awards and grants including the Golden Nica for Interactive Art at Ars Electronica, Linz for his work “The Messenger.”
