Eric Souther (b. 1987, United States)'s creative research draws from a multiplicity of disciplines, including new materialism, anthropology, ritual, deep time, and toolmaking. These areas are read through one another and coalesce in technological assemblages that form emergent systems or software for exploring relations. He instrumentalizes these systems so that they can become performative ways to navigate unexpected images/meaning making. His work takes many pathways, which include interactive installation, audio-visual performance,single-channel video, and software.
