ARTIST STATEMENT
We exist within a built environment that is constantly mediated by the grid. Grids organize space through coordinate mapping and patterns of development. Grids compress, redisplay, and reorder information. Grids are an enforcement system imposed upon both nature and culture. I respond to this ubiquity by creating gridworks. These forms examine the blurred boundary between the machine and the human - the tool of data collection and the interpretive mind.
BIO
A. Bill Miller, Assistant Professor of Visual Arts, at Penn State Altoona earned his MFA at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His nationally and internationally exhibited works include his acclaimed Gridworks Project, which comprises abstract ASCII drawings, animated GIFs and videos, as well as live audio/visual performances.

PATRICK QUINN
Technology, and more specifically computer culture, is typically associated with organized interfaces, efficient, high-resolution screens and, particularly in the context of Western civilization, the problematic notion of “progress”. I attempt to challenge the utilitarian purpose of the interface, and problematize certain notions intrinsically tied to Internet culture. I investigate the digital, appropriative archive as not only a collection of media artifacts, but also as a subversive mechanism and agent for channeling social unrest. To me, this subversion, an attempt at re-structuring technological hierarchies and processes, encapsulates the essence of civil disobedience in the twenty-first century.
I am connected internationally through darknets, deaddrops, sneakernets, USB drives, tumblrs, noise shows, mixtapes, and to other like minded End Tyyymes-Aware artists and musicians//
