Zachary\u2019s residency coincided with the restart of Alfred University operations and the academic year after the COVID closedowns.<\/p>\n<p>The iea was truly fortunate and privileged to have Zachary Fabri as our first 2020 NYSCA Electronic Media &amp; Film AIR. The iea\u2019s commitment to artists experimental projects, and its other space-time resulting from our geography, at the historical moment at the end of spring and summer shutdowns, having Zachary here during this moment was magical.<\/p>\n<p>Fabri during his time with us took full rein of the iea\u2019s open-space for art-making as he communicated during his Zoom Artist-talk with students and faculty. His week was one where he could \u201changout and play\u201d as a way to engage in his practice creating \u201cvulnerable experiments\u201d. And that during the week he engaged in the \u201ctheatrically of making\u201d letting his \u201clived experience as a political body\u201d, human\/civil rights, climate change and the contemporary-virtual organically come through his work via such experiments.<\/p>\n<p>Zach made studio and field performance-for-camera recordings during his week at the iea. Early in the week Zachary made recordings with the Signal Culture SSSScan application. EM faculty Eric Souther then developed a new Slit-scan program in TouchDesigner for Fabri to use at the iea. Zachary made music recordings, camera recordings at Canacedia Creek as well as drawing performances for camera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Zachary Fabri is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice mines the intersection of his personal life and local community, with concerns surrounding cultural commodification, gentrification, and public space. He has been awarded The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and the New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship. Fabri\u2019s work has been exhibited at Art in General, The Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, The Walker Art Center, The Brooklyn Museum, The Barnes Foundation, Performa, the Museum of Modern Art, the Sharjah Biennial, and Pace gallery. Fabri lives and works in Flatbush, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-85579 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri04\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"1382\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85754\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85754'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri controlling the ATEM mixer with Leap Motion Controller\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri01\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1037\" height=\"1382\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85757\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85757'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri in the iea studio\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri02\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"1037\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85756\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85756'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri in the iea studio\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri05\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85753\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85753'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri controlling the ATEM mixer with Leap Motion Controller\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri06\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri06.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85752\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85752'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri controlling the ATEM mixer with Leap Motion Controller\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/z-fabri03\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/iea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/12\/z-fabri03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-85755\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-85755'>\n\t\t\t\tZachary Fabri controlling the ATEM mixer with Leap Motion Controller\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]&nbsp;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243;
