Still and moving media have doubled for the human body since its invention. Clinicians ask media where it hurts, hygiene films give expert instruction on how to best control and understand our uncontrollable selves, while at the same time art and pop culture have given us methods to cope and mend. By following through on the logic that media is body/human/person/material: outdated found footage becomes media cadaver to exhume, examine, and reanimate; video synthesizers model brain signal overload; 9X16mm grid performs a real-time exercise in crafting a personal narrative within the limitations of our physical selves.

Kristin Reeves has exhibited her media art internationally in venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Block Museum, The Centro Cultural de España CDMX, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Antimatter [Media Art] Festival, CROSSROADS, The Chicago Underground Film Festival, European Media Arts Festival, Impakt,. Reeves has collaborated in live multimedia productions including projects staged at Steppenwolf Theater, Chicago and The Boiler, Brooklyn. She is an Assistant Professor of Intermedia Art at Ball State University.
