About
James Pardue is a media artist whose practice spans fixed video works, improvised electroacoustic performances, and interactive installations. Working with software, electronics, and obsolete media technologies, he explores the formal relationships between image and sound while investigating the aesthetics of feedback, noise, emergence, and interaction. His interdisciplinary practice is grounded in theoretical inquiries into the boundaries and relationships between humans and media technologies, informed by a media archaeological perspective. Through this lens, his work seeks to cultivate a deeper critical understanding of our technological past, present, and possible futures.
Pardue holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Department of Media Study at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, and is currently a Ph.D. student in the Experimental Music and Digital Media Program at Louisiana State University.
