Beth Wexler
Freelance Motion Designer
Philadelphia, PA, USAI am interested in exploring the human condition, particularly within media saturated cultures. By using elements familiar within pop-culture - teevee shows, bright colors and pop music - I create work that references the familiar while also leaving room for exploration and question. As an allusion to temporal transformation and a desire to point to a perpetual state of change she tends to work primarily with time-based media. Utilizing tools for video and sound she deconstructs instances of time only to reconstruct alternate possibilities. Other areas of interest are the transference of media such as turning data from video sources into sound or using frames of video on three dimensional cultural artifacts. In an attempt to create pieces that are unique, her work is created through a series of processes that are then applied in real-time systems, which often lend themselves to performance.
