Joseph Farbrook

Bio:

• Joseph Farbrook grew up in New York City and Santa Fe. Raised by his father, a concrete poet, and his mother, a painter, Farbrook attended the University of Colorado, where he wrote electronic music, poetry, and fiction. Becoming interested in a more immersive approach to narrative, he began using computers and the Internet as creative media. Subsequently discovered by the art department, he was offered a fellowship to pursue an MFA in digital art. Working in a visual arts environment, Farbrook began creating electronic installations, interactive video, and virtual reality narratives. He also developed media-reflexive live performances mixed with interactive screen projections. Farbrook’s latest work explores the intersections between video, video games, and sculpture.

  Farbrook exhibits both nationally and internationally. Recent venues include the Museum of Contemporary Art (Denver), La Fabrica Arte Contemporaneo (Guatemala), Museo De Arte Contemporaneo (Columbia), as well as venues in the Netherlands, China, Czech Republic, and the United States. Farbrook is presently an assistant professor of interactive media and game development at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
