Lincoln Schatz

Born 1963, USA

Lincoln Schatz works in new media and sculpture. Since 2000, he has focused on the experience of place and the meanings produced by the collisions of nonlinear sec tions of time. Through his custom software, Schatz selectively records and displays video images culled from specific environments.

 

Most recently Schatz has created genera tive video works that collect, store and dis play more than eight years of video memory. From its start date each piece collects video from its environment daily, amassing thin slices of video/time. On-screen those slices overlap and juxtapose with images from cur rent time. Like the human mind, past and present events wash over one another re sulting in new possibilities and impossibili ties.
