Deutsch he is a professor of Video and Sonic Art at the School of Art and Design at Alfred University.
“Early in the development of my work with electronics, I found myself drawn to an approach to video and sonic art called ‘real time processing,’” Deutsch says of his work. “To work in real time means to work live processing the video image or sound directly, manipulating the electronic signal itself as it moves in time. This way of working is heuristic and physical. In other words, I work with images and sound the same way a sculptor might work wood on a lathe.”
The Mansfield exhibit is works Deutsch collaborated with Ann Hamilton, Sang Nam and Susannah Biondo-Gemmel on.
There will be an opening reception on Thursday, March 26, 4-6 p.m.
Deutsch will also deliver a lecture on “Electrodynamic Drawing and Speaker Art,” 0n Wednesday April 8, 4 p.m. in Alumni Hall, Room 104.
