Mr. Pappenheimer comes to the position of Electronic Intermedia Area Coordinator at the University of Florida with an in depth knowledge of digital imaging and digital video. He has been a technological consultant to the Museum School of Fine Arts Boston and served as a member of the Technology Committee while a Post-Graduate Teaching Fellow there in 1997. He is interested in the experimental use of rapidly developing electronic media who's use is primarily driven by commercial industry and culture. These new technologies, though based on the emulation of older media, open up different avenues for reconfiguring relationships of representation, inquiry and appropriation. Much like the advent of photography in the mid-19th century or the arrival of television in the 1950's, this is perhaps a watershed moment for image and textual changes wrought by digital technologies, and thus opportune for the intervention of the artist.
