Bart Woodstrup is an artist working in time-based, electronic media with particular emphasis in the integration of sound and visuals. He has performed live audio-visual synthesis under the moniker “vodstrup” and was a founding member of Pauline Oliveros’ telepresence ensemble Tintinnabulate. Another theme of his work has been to parse issues of technology at the boundary between humanity and nature, with scrutiny for environmental concerns. This is exemplified by installation work, environmental data visualizations, and work that incorporates alternative energy as a power source. When he is not teaching in the Time Arts department of Northern Illinois University, he can be found hacking solar powered LED lawn lamps, inventing ways to carbon-neutrally power his plethora of electronic gadgets, or taking long walks with his pet, Rutt Etra.
