Rick Silva
Eugene based artist working with video, websites and installation on virtuality and speculative ecologies
Biography
Rick Silva was born in 1977 in Piracicaba, Brazil, and is based in Eugene, Oregon, where he is an associate professor at the University of Oregon. His videos, websites and installations explore virtuality, futurology and speculative ecologies. His work has been shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, with solo shows at TRANSFER in New York, Wil Aballe Art Projects in Vancouver, New Shelter Plan in Copenhagen and Ditch Projects in Springfield, Oregon. He has been covered in Artforum, WIRED and Rhizome's Net Art Anthology. He also worked as Abe Linkoln, with Marisa Olson, on a Whitney Gate Page in 2006. Liquid Crystal is a set of seven short videos, one for each day of the week. Each opens on a natural surface such as soil, sand, snow or ice, which the artist's hands clear away to reveal a screen of synthesized color patterns.
