PRESENTATION TITLE

Rendering Illness: Artistic Practice at the Boundaries of Diagnosis

PRESENTER
Ryan Woodring

PRESENTER BIO

Ryan Woodring (he/they) is compelled by his undiagnosed chronic illness to create sustained agency for unpredictable and illegible modes of being using experimental, time-based visualization practices. He recently founded the Soft Data/Base-a net archive compiling projects that generate soft data for illegible experience-at Drew University, where he serves as Assistant Professor of Digital Media. He has exhibited and spoken internationally in various contexts such as Rochester Art Center, Museum of the Moving Image, Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts, The International Museum of Surgical Science, the Portland Biennial, and elsewhere. His writing on navigating undiagnosed illness through art was recently published by the International Journal of Education & the Arts and his coloring book “Sick and Tired at the Met” was published by Irrelevant Press this September. Woodring lives in New York, where he is a member of Blockbusters Video and New Media Collective.
