HOT-SPOTS with Elizabeth Monoian

Elizabeth Monoian is an interdisciplinary artist and designer who uses the Internet, found objects and spaces, electronic noise, video, and performance to tease apart and question cultural relationships to time, history, and memory. Her work has screened and exhibited internationally in venues including: the XXIII Moscow International Film Festival, Moscow, Russia; Anthology Film Archives, NYC; Open Screen Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia; Festival of Actual Kino, Novosibirsk, Russia; The Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland; and the International Media Art Festival at the Armenian Center of Contemporary Experimental Art, Yerevan, Armenia.

She is the founder and director of Society for Cultural Exchange, a non-profit organization that, through interdisciplinary processes, is dedicated to the perpetuation of free-thought—a thinking for the self while considering the facts of the world as experienced by us each as individuals and shared by us all as a collective society. Society for Cultural Exchange has designed public new media projects, hosted artist residents, provided various workshops, curated art exhibitions, and has planted an urban orchard.
