This summer the LA Forum presents the exhibition MEDIAN, an experimental moving image installation at WUHO Gallery in Hollywood July 14–August 25, 2016 with an opening reception on Thursday, July 14.
David Hartwell specializes in the visualization of technical and historical content. He began his career working for visual effects pioneer Robert Abel developing graphical user interfaces for IBM's educational multimedia projects. He has since then art directed, programmed, and animated television and installation content for the likes of Disney, Microsoft, MGM Grand, History Channel, Discovery, TAG Heuer and PBS. David was formally trained as a photographer. He then obtained his B.A. (1991) from Art Center College of Design (Europe). As a designer, David has always been interested in the experiential aspect of art delivery. Unimpressed by the current state of video art, David never gave up on the promises of multimedia. He believes that the technical advancements of the last twenty years do now afford video artists to break away from the spatial confines and chronological limitations of the media allowing the viewer to engage with the piece on their own terms.
