Mark O'Connell: Digital Video Artist

Description

Mark O'Connell, a musician and digital media artist, creates short films whose fluid collages of imagery and sound draw on movies, memory, chance and sensuality. His work abandons traditional narrative in order to explore the possibilities that arise from the juxtaposition, as well as the rhythms and textures, of images and sound.

O'Connell lives in Seattle, Washington, where his piece “Strange Ships“ was honored in a world premier screening at the 2002 Seattle International Film Festival. Locally, his work has also been sponsored by Washington's Artist’s Trust organization, the Seattle Arts Commission and the King County Arts Commission. Abroad, his work has earned showings at the European Media Arts Festival, in Osnabrueck; Videoex,in Zurich; the Melbourne Underground Film Festival; the Impakt Festival, in Amsterdam; Netslag, in Stockholm; Enter Multimediale, in Prague; and Dublin's Darklight Digital Film Festival. It has also been presented at screenings in Japan, Thailand and China.

Mirek Menci, the curator of Enter Multimediale, characterizes O'Connell as “a global digital star,“ Netslag curator Lars Printzen says, "There are many experiments in digital filmmaking. But few people can produce this level of work. It is exciting and also impeccably crafted."
