Golan Levin

Golan Levin is an artist living and working in Pennsylvania. He works at Carnegie Melon University in Pittsburgh, teaching Electronic Time-Based art. He is interested in using sound, image, an performance in a cohesive way to present the topics that he is using in his work. Much of his work involves the viewers participation in manipulating the various facets of his interactive work. Many times, the viewer is not aware that they are involved in the work of Golan Levin. For example, In the peice "Eyecode" The piece itself is videotaping the eyes of the viewers while they are looking at the piece. It captures the time in between blinks of the viewer and adds it in to the rest of the body of the work. Another example of the way that he uses his "viewers" by the way that they used the public through the internet in "The Dumpster." In "The Dumpster" Levin takes blurbs from online blobs referring to the love lives of anonymous posters. Levin does much of his work as solo projects but has also collaborated with other artists to make his work. One of Golan Levin's most common partners in Zachary Lieberman.

Levin's work has been shown in various places all over the world including the Whitney Biennial, The Museum of Art Contemporary-Tiawan, The InterCommunication Center-Japan, and Ars Electronica- Austria, as well as many other places.
