CARLOS ROSAS
Associate Professor of Art

Born: Brooklyn, New York
Live: State College, PA and Los Angeles, CA

Rosas Studio: http://www.overtheedge.net
The Emitto Project: http://www.emitto.net

Carlos Rosas, has been creating, exhibiting, and publishing new media based work since the mid 90s during his graduate studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Much of the recent interactive and networked installation work incorporates a range of performative elements, print, video, sound art and multimedia based web publishing. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally, internationally, and throughout the Internet.

Currently, much of the work seeks to mediate experiences that traverse both digital and analog worlds in an attempt to reflect upon transactions and/or distortions that are being ‘digitally filtered’ and how one identifies with these continually evolving conditions. The intent is to formulate a constructive discourse involving the ethos that governs our con temporal existence. The interest in using new media, networks, databases and visualization strategies stems from a continual fascination with localizing these digital and analogue experiences, the blurring of boundaries between their dual-existence and how our lives, environments and cultures are continually being shaped and redefined by the use of technology.

An ongoing internet project he has been developing since 2002, at http://www.emitto.net, functions as an online cultural arts resource, archival database, and collaborative publishing network. Carlos Rosas is currently a Professor of New Media Art at Penn State University where he has taught since 2001, previously he spent 6 years on the Art School Faculty at the California Institute of the Arts.
