About the Artist
Hall's videos and prints derive from a feedback loop involving repeated visual collision of imagery between analog and digital electronic cameras and monitors. Recently, these images have been used as cover art on Hall's three sonic art CDs.
Hall has experimented with sound as an art form for exhibition since 1985. Today, Hall chooses to use digital multitrack recording technology and a variety of instruments to create works which are more than just so much recorded noise. They are harmonious, picturesque, and quite listenable.
Hall's sculptures are interior investigations of the curious life of a solitary inventor, the three-dimensional aesthetic possibilities of old and new technologies, and the persistent Existential quandaries of obsolescence, decay, and impermanence. He also creates functional musical instruments. Hall's current creative work combines sound, sculpture, photography, and graphic design into an integrated practice he refers to as "Scultura Sana".
Education and Biography
Hall's education includes art study at the University of Hawaii, at the University of Florida (B.F.A.), and at Washington University in St. Louis (M.F.A.).
