Teaches at Harvestworks | Digital Media Arts Center

New York-based artist Liz Phillips has been making interactive multi-media installations for the past 40 years. She creates responsive environments sensing wind, plants, fish, audience, dance, water, and food. Audio and visual art forms combine with new technologies to create elastic time-space constructs. Sound is the primary descriptive material.  Phillips has exhibited at The Milwaukee Art Museum, Queens Museum of Art, The Jewish Museum, The Whitney Museum of liz phillipsAmerican Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Spoleto Festival USA, the Walker Art Center, Lincoln Center Festival, Ars Electronica, Jacob’s Pillow, The Kitchen, Rene Block Gallery and Frederieke Taylor Gallery. 

Mary Lucier, video documentation editor and camera, is celebrated for her contributions to the form of multi-monitor, multi-channel video installation. She attended Brandeis University, originally working in sculpture, photography, and performance before concentrating on video installation in the 1970s. In her work–from Ohio At Giverny to The Plains of Sweet Regret and Wisconsin Arc– she has explored the theme of landscape as a metaphor for loss and regeneration and, more recently, trauma as experienced and articulated in more narrative modes.

Hamilton was a 2005 Fellow of the Civitella Ranieri Foundation, participating in a residency at the foundation’s center in Umbria. Hamilton’s performing and recording colleagues have included Peter Zummo, Bruce Gremo, Karlheinz Essl, Bruce Arnold, Bruce Eisenbeil, Rich O’Donnell, Thomas Buckner, Al Margolis, and id m theft able, and he has worked with Composers Inside Electronics.
