About the instructor:

Colby Richardson is a media artist and experimental filmmaker currently based in Winnipeg MB, Canada. Driven by a fascination with obsolete technologies and underused consumer electronics, his work examines the relationship between technology and progress, and explores the artistic potentiality of technological systems and functions left behind, or deemed undesirable, by such progress. By utilizing and re-contextualising historic video equipment and other out-of-date technologies, Richardson creates dynamic and textural visual works, taking the form of video sculptures, installations, and performances, as well as single-channel film and video. His work embraces the potential meditative qualities of abrasive and jarring stimulus, and investigates themes of transformation, progress, and death.
