As part of the ongoing “Listen In” series of artist presentations, Harvestworks is pleased to present multi-media artists Lillian Ball, and Steve Bull. Lilian Ball will discuss her recent interactive multi-screen video installation Go Doñana, a project that explores diverse perspectives on the wetland/dune ecosystems found in Andalucia's Doñana National and Natural Parks. Multi-media artist Steve Bull will demonstrate his recent video/MAX/Jitter/cellphone-SMS interactive installation Target, programmed by musician software artist Zachary Seldess. Lillian Ball is an artist and environmental activist working in New York. Water imagery has been a constant subtext, but recent subject matter focuses specifically on environmental concerns. She has exhibited internationally, and traveled widely. Ball has a multidisciplinary background in anthropology, ethnographic film, and design.
Steve Bull is a mixed-media technology artist, also creating location-specific narratives and games that explore the social, technological, and creative possibilities of cell phones. He recently received a Target commission to produce a multi-media event with live text messaging. He delivered a series of "Slavery in New York" cell phone tours on vodcast, podcast and VOIP for the New York Historical Society.
