Annette Barbier uses new technologies to address issues of home, domesticity, and the ways in which identity is bound up with one's environment. It has moved from an emphasis on the personal to a consideration of the global, looking at ways in which home has come to be defined more broadly as populations shift, and as our interdependence becomes increasingly clear.

Barbier graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an MFA. She chairs the Interactive Arts and Media Department at Columbia College, Chicago, where she teaches new media theory and practice. She came to Columbia from Northwestern University, where she directed the Center for Art and Technology.

She has exhibited in the International Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA), Arts Electronica, the International Digital Media Art Association (IDMAA) and has show at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago) and screened work in numerous festivals and on public television and cable.

Janell Baxter is an artist, educator, and interactive media developer, and has been focusing on emergent and adaptive systems for the past several years. Recent work includes a series of small bots that analyze visuals in search of meaning and inspiration for their own "artwork". Work in progress includes a generative application that is building a collaborative network in creating the visuals it produces.

Commercial work over the past decade has primarily focused on building solutions that enhance communication and collaboration; creating technologies that increase the effectiveness of teams and individuals. These applications have been primarily web based utilizing technologies and languages such as .NET, C#, SQL, ASP, CSS, and XML. Applications that write web standards compliant code have been a particular interest.

Ms. Baxter is an Assistant Professor in the Interactive Arts and Media department at Columbia College Chicago, and is currently the coordinator of the Game Design major’s Art and Animation concentration. She has a MS degree in computer science from the University of Chicago, a BFA in studio arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and is a McCarthy Technologies certified instructor.

Sound for Interaction 36-1400-02

I am sound artist currently based in Chicago, USA. My output spans a wide range of formats, from compositions for traditional instruments and electro-acoustics to multi-channel fixed (tape) works, including cross-media collaborations in theatre, film, and dance. At present I am working on various projects connected to live performance and interactivity, exploring the more spatial and cinematic qualities of acousmatic performance.

At the centre of my practice is a commitment to exploration and experimentation. For me, the creative process is comparable to a navigator sailing his ship through uncharted waters; in time he will survey the area and establish outposts constructed from the resources he finds around him. In establishing himself, he is continually reconstructing his perspective through experiences, recalling memories of these experiences, and frequently reworking his tools. These are my current creative metaphors.

I have just completed STROKE., a commission for the Naughton Gallery at Queen's University Belfast. The work, in addition to those of other participating composers, will accompany a new exhibition of ceremonial silver works this spring. I hold a Masters degree in Music Technology from the University of Limerick and a PhD in Sonic Arts from The Sonic Arts Research Centre, the Queen's University Belfast.

Media Theory and Design 2 36-2000
Patrick's work investigates the relationship of subjectivity and the structures of ideology and globalism, often by using video socially and performatively, and sometimes using other materials. It asks questions about how we are formed by culture and systems of power, and where it may be possible to resist those formations, by considering how the body and specifics of the individual come in contact with and leave evidence in the physical. His work also takes an interest in the discrepancies of how people and commodities are treated and move around in the world, and attempts to find ways to collapse concepts of territory, as well as documentation, the documented, and the documenter.

It has been shown at spaces such as The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Antena in Chicago, and in solo exhibitions at Eyedrum and the Saltworks Gallery Project Room in Atlanta, A\V Space in Rochester NY, and Washington State University Tri-Cities. He also teaches part-time in the Fall at SAIC, was a visiting artist at Rhode Island School of Design, Scripps College, and The University of Memphis, and was an Assistant Professor at the Georgia College & State University Art Department from 2002 to 2007, where he started the digital media area. He also directs and curates exhibitions at Eel Space.

He grew up in New Hampshire and received an M.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, a B.A. from Hampshire College, and plays music with The Wood Knots.
