Author Bio
A native of England, Chris Scoates is a curator whose interests encompass contemporary art, media art and technology, and music, as well as their relationship to contemporary culture. He is currently organizing a series of art and technology exhibitions, which offer an unprecedented investigation of digital media's impact on contemporary art and visual culture. These projects include Sound Oasis, an outdoor three-dimensional audio environment with twelve sound artists; TAMPER: A Gestural Interface for Cinematic Design, a participatory work that fused cutting-edge technology with the practice of film design; and Brian Eno: 77 Million Paintings, an installation of constantly changing images and musical compositions which challenged the presumptive authorial control of the artist. J. Fiona Ragheb is a writer, designer, and curator with an interest in contemporary art and architecture, and advanced degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Yale University's School of Architecture. During her tenure at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, she organized major exhibitions such as Frank Gehry, Architect and Dan Flavin: The Architecture of Light, as well as the inaugural exhibition of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
