Joseph Nechvatal, Ph.D.

Joseph Nechvatal's contemporary art practice engages in the fragile
wedding of image production and image resistance by addressing the viral form.
Through the art of noise he brings a subversive reading to computational media,
presenting an artistic consciousness that articulates contemporary 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 Joseph 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).
