On Sunday, March 8 Debora Bernagozzi (@deborabernagozzi) completed her time as an outside consultant for the iea.

With workflow and organization at the forefront of this project, we saw incredible positive changes from day one! Thanks to Debora’s expertise, time was spent optimizing the space to guarantee our artists in residence can clearly understand the systems we have implemented so they can research and produce faster with more independence. In her second week, Debora tested workflows which will allow artists in residence more video mixing and processing opportunities and provided further organizational guidance, all of which will greatly benefit future programming.

Artist Debora Bernagozzi works primarily with the mediums of video, photography, and fiber. She received her BFA in Video from the Atlanta College of Art in 1999 and her MFA in Electronic Integrated Art from Alfred University in 2002. Her work has been exhibited in the US and internationally, including at the Denver Art Museum, Burchfield Penney Museum, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and the Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film and Video Festival. She was awarded artist residencies at the Experimental Television Center, Squeaky Wheel Media Arts Center, and in Kuala Lumpur.

Inspired by residency experiences that were transformational for them both personally and artistically, Debora and Jason Bernagozzi, along with Hank Rudolph co-founded Signal Culture, a nonprofit organization that provides residencies, resources, and exhibition opportunities for artists, researchers, and innovators working in experimental media art. She serves as Executive Director while continuing to make and exhibit her own work.
