Art Jones works with sculpture, expanded media, and installation. His live media performance concerns the inter-relationships between collective memory, history and power at specific locations and involves intensive recombination of video and audio elements into a cacophonous synthesis. Jones often utilizes mainstream media and popular culture as raw material to be sampled, remixed, and re-combined in order to examine implicit meanings or suggest new ones.

For my CultureHub residency, I will develop elements of ‘Transmitting Live from Babylon,’ an immersive media performance with multichannel audio, stereographic live action video and animation, and VR. I will use the multi-screen, multichannel audio, and virtual environment capabilities of CultureHub to explore how I might construct video-and-soundscapes to provide a unique immersive experience to the audience.
