JoAnn Gillerman
American new media artist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JoAnn Gillerman (born 1950) is an American multimedia artist and educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1][2][3] She is known for interdisciplinary, often interactive and immersive, works merging art, science, culture and technology.[4][5][6][7] Gillerman emerged in the 1970s as an early new media artist, creating experimental combinations of video, collaborative live performance and installation.[8][9][10] Art historian Liz Kotz wrote, "Gillerman pioneered the use of computer graphics and synthetically-generated imagery in video art … us[ing] the technology of computer-generated and re-processed images combined with electronic and acoustic music to develop different ways of making abstract visual designs."[10] Since the 1990s, she has employed new technologies to produce interactive and educational environments, performances and works focused on cosmic events, natural phenomena and sociopolitical issues.[11][12][13][14]
