| Introduction | Steve Gibson is a Canadian media artist, composer, and curator. He completed his Ph.D. at SUNY Buffalo, where he studied music composition with Louis Andriessen. He also completed postdoctoral research with Arthur Kroker at Concordia University in Montréal. He currently serves as Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. He was curator for the Media Art event Interactive Futures from 2002-07. Simultaneously deeply involved with technology and deeply suspicious of its effects, Gibson’s work celebrates both the liberation and paranoia of techno-fetishism. Influenced by a diverse body of art and popular movements his work fuses electronica, immersive art, game art, montage and post-minimalism. Steve Gibson’s installations and performances have been presented in such venues as: Ars Electronica; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Banff Centre for the Arts; Festival International Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville; the European Media Arts Festival; ISEA; 4 & 6CyberConf. He recently co-edited a volume entitled Transdisciplinary Digital Art which was published by Springer in Spring 2008. |
