Melanie Landsittel

"I use my work to investigate the intersection of intimate relationships and popular culture. I often use materials with significant personal meaning to convey my own narratives and am interested in how those narratives may be shared within or rejected by culture to varying degrees. I hope to use my work as a means of examining the ways this dynamic effects childhood and adult development, and intimate relationships, being familial or romantic."

Charles Dillon Ward

"On social media, people, places and things, in the form of images, become stand-ins for ourselves. In our attempt to mimic face-to-face communication and the physical spaces we live in, we enrich our communication online with digital prostheses. In my art practice I would like to critique and analyze our relationship to media and culture by re-contextualizing moving and still images."
Charles Dillon Ward, Eigenface Boogie Boogie, 3m05s, Video, Color, Sound, 2020.

​While listening to the song Daisy Bell, which was the first song sung by a computer, the operating system of an iPhone turns boring facial recognition surveillance exercises into opportunities to express itself like its favorite painter: Piet Mondrian.

Charles Dillon Ward, Toy of War, 2m46s, Video, Color, Sound, 2020. 

Using found footage, kaleidoscopes, paper targets, and thermal images, this short combines a destructive tool and a creative toy.

Charles Dillon Ward, Onward then ye Children, 2m28s, Video, Color, Sound, 2020. 
​
Inspired by Kong's final moments in Dr. Strangelove, children ride bombs as mid-flight entertainment for passengers on a plane.
