Marisa Williamson is a New York-based artist, originally from Philadelphia. She received her B.A. in visual art from Harvard University and earned her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts in 2013. Her project as an artist is to explore and describe through performance, video, objects, and images the ways that soft technologies—“problem solving tools” like narrative, language, and myth, along with hard technologies like the camera, the digital moving image, and the web—facilitate the rendering and surrendering of the physical and psychological body. Thomas Love is a Chicago-based artist pursuing a PhD in Art History from Northwestern University; he has a BFA from Cooper Union. He is interested in art that changes the parameters of visibility and embodiment within social and cultural fields, especially by highlighting the persistence of ingrained cultural forms, types, and genres. Recently, his practice has focused on animation as a way to conspicuously appropriate images and recontextualize them. *animated gif image by Thomas Love, 2015
