Joseph A Farbrook

Associate Professor, Art

Art Bldg, Room 243A
520-621-1181

MFA, University of Colorado at Boulder, Media Arts

Joseph Farbrook grew up in New York City and Santa Fe, raised by his father, a concrete poet and his mother, a painter. His artwork has taken the form of electronic installations, interactive video, augmented and virtual reality narratives, live performances, and interactive screen projections. Within his work, he explores the evolution and consequences of cultural illusions and mediated perception. He often invents customized media platforms that intersect physical and virtual art making practices.

Farbrook exhibits his work regularly in galleries and museums worldwide, including SIGGRAPH, International Symposium for Electronic Arts, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Watermans Gallery in London, Galerie Vaclava Spaly in Prague, and numerous solo and group exhibitions in NYC, Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle. Joseph Farbrook is an Associate Professor of art at the University of Arizona.

“My subject matter is people. Not just figures, but the thoughts they contain, the connections they form, and the experiences they hold. My goal is to capture the human experience and add a fantastical twist – to capture the wonder in simply being.” - @anisopod

This great digital art piece is by Studio Art student Conor Ryan called “The Celestial.”
•
“This work is exploring the idea of what could be out there in the universe. Is something waiting for our species in the stars? Is something looking down on us even now? The universe and its infinite possibilities interest me greatly, and through this piece, ​The Celestial, ​I strive to share this curiosity. I derive influence for this piece from wave-like CRT television glitches, and from themes in films like “Blade Runner 2049” and “Interstellar”. The being depicted here is supposed to embody the unknown of the universe, what might be out there.” - @conorwryan.art
