in the most destructive elements of the times, and then attempt
to swim . . ." JG Ballard, from a 1976 interview
Chris Todd is an artist and educator based in Phoenix, Arizona.
His work poetically examines
the ways in which technology, commerce, power, and media consume
mind, body, and place.
Fragmentary, provisional, site specific, or uneasy, Todd's creations
wallow in distortions of first-hand experience,
laugh at emotional and physical decomposure, and resurrect
instances of psychological incontinence.
Todd's art has been shown in a variety of exhibition
spaces, museums, public/commercial sites, and publications.
He is currently a Professor of Media Arts at Mesa
Community College in the Phoenix Metro Area.
