Linclon Schatz

Lincoln Schatz (b.1964, United States) 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 sections of time. Through his custom software, Schatz selectively records and displays video images culled from specific environments. Most recently Schatz has created generative video works that collect, store and display 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 current time. Like the human mind, past and present events wash over one another resulting in new possibilities and impossibilities.
