Ian Winters
As an artist I strive to make technology (if used) an essential inseparable tool — but still to be fundamentally a tool for exploration rather than a means in itself.

Ian Winters is a San Francisco Bay Area based photographer, video artist and performer working at the intersection of architectural form, frozen image and time-based media in solo work and collaborations with composers, directors, and choreographers to create open-ended environments through performance, photographic/video/film media, and sonic environments. Winters trained in photography, film and performance at SMFA-Boston and Tufts University, and post-graduate training in architecture and live performance. Recent collaborators and media projects include projects with Francis Ford Coppola (designing the custom Isadora playback system for his new film), Robert Moses Kin, elaine buckholtz, ODC Dance, Alice Arts, Pamela Z, Evelyn Ficarra, paige starling sorvillo,/blindsight, Sara Kraft, Mary Armentrout Dance Theater, and others.
