Description

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) presented an artist talk and conversation with multi-disciplinary artist Jacolby Satterwhite. In dynamic video works that bring together 3-D animation, drawings, and live performance elements, Satterwhite explores themes of memory, desire, personal and public mythology. Creating fantastical digital landscapes that are populated with multiple costumed avatars of himself, Satterwhite engages with hand-drawn objects and text as extensions of the body, in a seamless exchange between live performance and constructed worlds. Satterwhite screened new works in progress and discussed his practice and process in performance and digital animation, followed by a question-and-answer session moderated by artist and writer Carolyn Lazard. This event launched EAI's distribution of Satterwhite's moving image work.
