Melanie Crean

Melanie Crean proposes will create Phrenology, a series of 360 degree photographic panorama housed in a modified game engine, that interconnect with one another through writing worked into the landscapes. The text will be derived from a writing workshop for incarcerated women at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, where women will write about their relationship to space and where they would ideally like to be. The piece will include an abstract 5.1 sound score, also based on the women’s writings. Crean is a media artist from Brooklyn who has received commissions from Art in General and Creative Time. She is Director of Production Emeritus at Eyebeam and currently teaches at Parsons and Pratt.
