William Linn is one of San Francisco’s central figures in the new media arts. His interactive installations incorporate video, sound, hand-made and “found” electronics. In 1997, he formed BOLT (Bu-reau of Low Technology), which investigates a sense of “techno-stalgia” using low-bit electronic gaming installations that celebrate technology in its most crude and obsolete state. His work has been exhibited at many international art festivals and featured in museums, galleries and theaters in North America and beyond. Linn is also well known as the founder and director of blasthaus, a multi-disciplinary arts organization that helped pioneer the exhibition and fostering of electronic and new media artists in America where it has organized exhibitions, performances and special events for a decade. Linn is currently working on a series of “loop performances” where physical actions are linked to measured time.
