Bill Wiatroski

Bill Wiatroski has had a working interest in video and the arts since his early exposure to video artist Nam June Paik’s pioneering work. He has worked with video for over twenty years, doing independent production, playback for feature film and television, hacking hardware and software for art. With the re-emergence of modular video synthesis Bill has found his core media for visual art, combining commercial and bespoke tools for studio, installation and live performance work.

“My artwork is informed by spirits – some hungry, some satiated, some organic, some synthetic.  Early experiments to harness electrons and photons produced visual representations of fleeting and fantastic forms, hinting at an unseen word that could be conjured through the use of appropriate instruments and technique. Obsolete, modern and modified technologies are utilized alchemically, to distill each element to its essence, to allow them to release the spirit form that exists at the heart of each, to re-combine freely or escape as each wants.

The aim is to expose a secret, subtler, sometimes unruly world, lying outside (sometimes just outside) our field of perception.”
