N.B.Aldrich is a New Media artist residing in Penobscot, Maine, USA, who creates installation, video, performance and acousmatic art.
The work generally focuses on systems of collecting, refining and redistributing information, aesthetic and otherwise, across varying mediums. In the process, the methods and metaphors of the "information age" become instruments of their own critique. He has had work shown nationally and internationally at such venues as
Engine 27;
Artists Space;
Sonic Odyssey;
Art Interactive; the
Center for Maine Contemporary Art; the
Casoria Contemporary Art Museum in Naples, Italy and the Festival de Arte Sonore in Barcelona, Spain, among many others. He was selected as an Artist-In-Residence for
ISEA 2008.
He has written about
Sound Art and sound artists such as
Chris Mann and
Stephen Vitiello, and has taught Music, Electronic Music, Electronic Art and Installation Art courses at
Bennington College,
Rockport College and the University of New Hampshire and is currently on the faculty of the
New Media Department and the Intermedia MFA program at the University of Maine.
