JESSE SCOTT BIO

Jesse Scott creates and exhibits work in the genre formerly known as new
media.
Under various aliases and operating within several artist collectives, he
produces work for live performance, for site-specific actions, for
listening, for viewing, for reading. His work has spanned the domains of a/v
performance, locative media, telematics, improvisational practice, urban
projection, installation design, smartphone apps, public workshops, and the
written word. He is the co-founder of the Canadian and German chapters of
Graffiti Research Lab, the Berlin and Vancouver incarnations of Processing
Cities, and co-runs the memelab, an interdisciplinary arts collective. He
currently teaches creative programming and smartphone development at several
universities and media arts centres in Vancouver, and has led workshops all
across North America and Europe.  He has been the recipient of several
awards, grants, artist residencies, and commissions, and has been exhibited
extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

PRESENTATION

Jesse wil be presenting various ideas and projects on taking art in the
genre formerly known as new media out of the gallery and into the streets -
out of the political and into the social.
He will discuss past, current, and future work on guerrilla projection,
locative audio applications, and site-specific installations as entry points
into a larger discussion on the political role of artistic media praxis.
