DESCRIPTION:°ÄÃŽðɳͶע_ÈÎÄ㲩-¹ÙÍø's Animation +Media Arts Department presents Visiting Artist\, Tim Portlock! Originally trained as a muralist\, Tim Portlock (b. 1969) began experimenting with digital media platforms in the late '90s. He has since mastered a variety of tools\, from gaming software to 3-D animation\, and he has used them to make art that investigates the social and economic impact of America's rapid de-industrialization. "I endeavor to create work that is visually unsettling and that does not fall neatly in one or even two media or visual disciplines\," says Portlock. He creates haunting\, post-apocalyptic urban landscapes\, often seen from an aerial perspective&mdash\;depictions of worlds in which industrial culture has come and gone\, leaving certain classes and communities blighted in its wake. "In preparation for much of my work\, I speak with experts in economics\, urban planning\, and sociology. My lifelong artistic interest [is] the dialogue between place\, cultural vocabularies\, and the formation of identity."
