Digital art expert at museum

Staff report

YOUNGSTOWN

Jawshing Arthur Liou, a professor of digital art at Indiana University, will give a free lecture at 3 p.m. Monday in the McDonough Museum of Art on the campus of Youngstown State University.

Liou creates video installations that depict spaces often not probable in reality.

Working with both lens-based representation and digital post-production, he aims to transform recognizable imagery into realms of otherworldly experience. For example, Liou’s Blood Work series (2003-2006), which deals with his daughter’s leukemia treatment, received acclaim from Lisa Freiman, the commissioner of the U.S. pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale.

Liou’s videos and prints are featured in exhibitions and collections in the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and many others.
