Sobre Gary HillGary Hill (California, 1951) e um dos artistas que melhor compreendeu e mais habilmente soube promover a integracao entre a arte e as novas tecnologias. Comecou sua carreira como escultor para, nos anos 70, explorar as possibilidades do video em Woodstock numa epoca em que se discutia a descentralizacao da producao e a possibilidade da criacao independente em comunidades alternativas -, ele vem desenvolvendo uma constante e impactante obra. Tambem promove uma estimulante combinacao de meios, na qual a comunicacao com o espectador/participante e imediata.http://www.vimeo.com/user2002575Logo depois de comecar a trabalhar com midias eletronicas, eu me prendi as aparentemente infinitas possibilidades da imagetica eletronica e me senti desorientado diante da necessidade de delimitar meu campo para fazer algo acontecer ao inves de assisti-lo acontecer, afirma Gary Hill. Minha saida diante deste impasse foi usar meu corpo e sons da fala primordialmente como expressao, mas tambem como um material que eu poderia lancar contra estes sinais efemeros e interferir na imagem e sua maneira de estar sempre presente. Eu poderia dizer que me desprogramei do culto a imagem que ainda continua a crescer diariamente.cronologia: http://www.zkm.de/futurecinema/hill_cv_e.htmlbio: http://garyhill.com/left/vita/biography (fonte: site do mis: http://mis-sp.org.br/icox/icox.php?mdl=mis&op=programacao_interna&id_event=503) e http://www.mis-sp.org.br/icox/icox.php?mdl=mis&op=programacao_interna&id_event=502)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnuHVAlpY2I1951 1968Born April 4, 1951, in Santa Monica, California.
