Artist talk with SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY

Stanford Department of Art & Art History presents an artist talk with SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY titled "THEY-LAID-DOWN-THEIR-HAMMERS-AND-CRIED: PERFORMING POWER + ELECTRONICS IN REALTIME + DIRTY NEW MEDIA" on Tuesday, January 23 at 5:30pm.

SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is a new media performance artist and poet. Known for her practice of noisy experimental electronics and software-as-art, HOLLOWAY shapes the rhetorics of computer programming and sadomasochism into tools for exposing structures of power. She has spoken and exhibited work internationally since 2012 in spaces like Performance Space New York, The New Museum, The Kitchen, The Time-Based Art Festival at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), The Knockdown Center, and the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf. SHAWNÉ is currently the Assistant Professor of Video/New Media in the Kinetic Imaging department at Virginia Commonwealth University and is the Digital Developer and Technology Manager with the Black Lunch Table archives. Additionally, she is an open source software community organizer and advocate, 1/2 of ambient sound duo BONE LATTICE, and a bodybuilder.
