Maureen Nappi is an artist and theorist whose work combines aesthetic concepts from painting, photography, cinema, video, and computer technology to explore still and animated states of imagery. This talk is a selected review of my work that incorporated those concerns while using traditional animation techniques with image processing and real-time animation techniques utilizing the Paik/Abe and Rutt/Etra video synthesizers to digital 2D and 2 ½D platforms such as the NYIT Images Paint system, the Quantel Paintbox, and its constitutive animation components, and Soft Image’s Flame (now AutoDesk). Serially alternating between practice and theory, Nappi holds three degrees from New York University: B.F.A., Institute of Film and Television, Tisch School of the Arts; M.A. Cinema Studies Department, Tisch School of the Arts; and a Ph.D. [in Critical Studies/ARTE in] Department of Art and Arts Professions.
