Digital Media, Puppetry
www.laurieobrien.com
Laurie O’Brien is an artist working in video, installation, animation, performance and “yetundefined-categories”. Her interdisciplinary media work is collaborative, interactive, sociopolitical, exploratory, hand-made and digital. She is interested in hybrid forms of expression that combine and defy definitions and categories. Her animations, performances and video installations have been exhibited in numerous galleries nationally and internationally. Her work often focuses on the blurring of fact and fiction. A metaphor that continues to influence her work, the puppet, finds expression in unexpected forms with links to technology, identity, duplicity and deception. She is a Assistant Professor of Visual Media in the Photography Department at RIT in Rochester, N.Y. She lives part-time in Brooklyn.
