Pittsburgh resident Ian Brill's work focuses on the accumulation of form through process. Through the creation of interactive, performative, and multi-sensorial environments, he considers boundaries of becoming (versus being) and our immersive relationship with technology. His installations, performances and writing have been presented internationally, at conferences, festivals, museums, and galleries. Currently, he teaches at Penn State University.

“The nature of my work is a lifelong exploration of aesthetics, metaphysics, love of beauty, technique, and improvisation. I went to Pitt and worked in Oakland for years. I literally dreamed of having this sort of stuff there. I think it makes a difference.”
