Marc Downie’s pioneering approach to digital art combines three signature elements: non-photorealistic computational imagery; the incorporation of body movement by motion-capture; and the autonomy of artworks directed by artificial intelligence. His collaborative works have responded to an ever-expanding range of materials—drawing, film, dance, photography, music, architecture—and his work has been exhibited, commissioned, and collected by film festivals, museums, and performance venues worldwide. Always collaborative and always crossing disciplinary boundaries, his work enters and exits fields without permission from, and without deference to, established disciplinary structures. Downie is Associate Professor of Practice in the Arts in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies, Media Arts and Design, and the College at the University of Chicago.
