Joseph
Nechvatal's contemporary art practice engages in the fragile wedding of image
production and image resistance. Through his version of an art-of-noise, he brings a
subversive reading to the human body through computational viruses,
articulating concerns regarding safety, identity and objectivity. In the
introduction to the book Selected Essays 1981-2001 by Peter Halley, Richard
Milazzo describes Joseph Nechvatals theoretic output as a systematic onslaught
of critical theory. (Halley, Peter Selected Essays 1981-2001, Edgewise Press.
2013, pp. 34 35)
Since 1986, Nechvatal has worked with
ubiquitous electronic visual information, computers and computer-robotics. His
computer-robotic assisted paintings and computer software animations are shown
regularly in galleries and museums throughout the world. From 1991-1993 he
worked as artist-in-resident at the Louis Pasteur Atelier and the Saline Royale
/ Ledoux Foundation's computer lab in Arbois, France on The Computer Virus
Project: an experiment with computer viruses as a creative stratagem. In 2002
he extended that artistic research into the field of viral artificial life
through his collaboration with the programmer Stphane Sikora.
Dr. Nechvatal earned his Ph.D. in the
philosophy of art and new technology at The Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the
Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at the University of Wales, Newport, UK where he
served as conference coordinator for the 1st International CAiiA Research
Conference Consciousness Reframed: Art and Consciousness in the Post-Biological
Era (July 1997); an international conference which looked at new developments
in art, science, technology and consciousness. From 1999 to 2013 Nechvatal taught
in the mfa graduate department at the School of Visual Arts in New York City
(SVA). His book of essays Towards an Immersive Intelligence: Essays on the
Work of Art in the Age of Computer Technology and Virtual Reality (1993-2006)
was published by Edgewise Press in 2009. In 2011 his book Immersion Into Noise
was published by the University of Michigan Library's Scholarly
Publishing Office in conjunction with the Open Humanities Press. He
has also published two books with Punctum Press: Miny (ed.) (2014) and Destroyer of Naivets (2015).
