099- Catalyst Presents: The Artist is Present - Daniel Canogar

“The Artist is Present” is a special series which is being hosted under the Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast of the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University.  “The Artis is Present” was developed under the direction of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art’s Director, Fiona Shen, and Registrar, Jessica Bocinski, so that a wider audience would have the opportunity to hear directly from the artists in the Escalette Collection at the University. In this episode host Abigail Stephens  speaks with artist Daniel Canogar. Born in Madrid to an American mother and Spanish father, Daniel Canogar’s life and career have bridged between Spain and the U.S. Photography was his earliest medium of choice, receiving a M.A. from NYU at the International Center of photography in 1990. He soon became interested in the possibilities of the projected image and installation art. He has created permanent public art installations with LED screens at museums, galleries, and public spaces throughout the world including a multi-billboard installation in Time Square. Through video, new media installations, photo-murals, and public art projects, Canogar explores themes related to electronic waste, visual excess, and the archeology of new media. His projects often involve the visualization or representation of data.
