ArtBreak: From Deep Time to Body-Oddy-Oddies

Eric Souther (he/him) is an Assistant Professor of Kinetic Imaging in the Gwen Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University. During this ArtBreak lecture, he will present a short overview of his experimental media art practice, covering the topics of artificial intelligence, deep time, material agency, and his recent collaborative work with Benjamin Rosenthal: “Body-oddy-oddy: Destabilizing the Surveilling of Queer Bodies,” which won the Digital Art Category in last year’s ArtPrize In Grand Rapids. Souther shows his work both nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, and film festivals.
