Artist Biography

Paul DeMarinis' art explores humanity's fascination with communication and its accompanying technologies.  By merging early sound devices with contemporary components, DeMarinis questions our perceptions of how sound changes our environment and how machines integrate with our lives, affecting our modes of thought.

In this exhibition is DeMarinis' Hypnica, a series of talking metronomes that use the voices of hypnotists to lull the listener into a sonic trance.  EarlyMedia Goes to the Movies is a collection of prints, devices, videos and sounding objects that apply pre-cinematic technologies to films from the heyday of movie making.

Paul DeMarinis is an Associate Professor at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California.  He has exhibited and performed internationally at The Kitchen in New York, the Festival d'Automne a Paris, France, Het Apollohuis in Holland, Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, Arts Centre Voorhuit, Ghent, Belgium, and Singuhr Horgalerie, Berlin, Germany.
