Born in Oakland, California, USA, Craig Baldwin attended the University of California

at Santa Barbara, University of California at Davis, and San Francisco State University (Masters, 1986). In the Dept. of Cinema there, he studied under Bruce Conner and became increasingly drawn to collage film form.

His interest in the re-contextualization of “found” imagery led him to the theories of the Situationist International and to various practices of mail art, ‘zines, altered billboards,

and other creative initiatives beyond the fringe of the traditional fine-arts curriculum.

After four short films, his first feature-length production, Sonic Outlaws, was an experimental documentary on the emerging “electronic folk culture”, exploring the legal, political, and artistic implications of the audio-collage work of culture-jamming collectives like Negativland, Tape-beatles, Emergency Broadcast Network, and the Barbie Liberation Organization.

Mr. Baldwin then completed Spectres of the Spectrum, a sci-fi spoof utilizing early educational kinescopes to criticize the corporate control of electronic technologies.

His current project “Mock-Up On Mu”, satirizes the impending militarization of space.
