Bio: Phillip Stearns (He/Him) is a Denver based electronic artist working with both physical and digital media. His practice uses media and technology to surface realities that reside just beyond our sense perceptions but are integral to our daily existence. His concept driven work is often the result of a dialogue with peculiarities of specific media and takes many forms including single channel video, multichannel audio, audio-visual performance, digital weavings, and immersive installations. Phillip earned his MFA in music from the California Institute of the Arts and has performed and exhibited work internationally in art festivals, museums, and galleries including Transfer Gallery, Tate Britain, Park Avenue Armory, NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery, ELEKTRA BIAN, Transmediale, FILE, Festival de Arte Digital, Thoma Foundation, Denver Art Museum, Zhangzhou Museum of Art and Haus Der Elektronischen Künste.
