Re-locating to the West Coast in 2000, Carl Diehl’s current practice engages the abundance of residual media circulating through second-hand markets as signs of missing links rather than fossil traces. Puzzling out the methods and motivations behind technological re-use and vernacular technoculture, Diehl derives associational structures from cryptozoology and Fortean philosophy. Diehl refers to this interdisciplinary practice as “Metaphortean Research,” and has presented his findings nationally and internationally at festivals, media art series and conferences including: Transmediale, Other Cinema and ISEA. Residing in Portland, Oregon, Diehl teaches at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Northwest Film Center.
