Gary Hill (b. 1951, Santa Monica, California) is known for his unique combination of video, sound, performance, and installation, Hill has continually offered multi-layered investigations of the phenomenological nature of the way we perceive the world through a network of visual, sound and linguistic signals. Exploring the cognitive and sensory conditions that underlie our discursive modes of communication, Hill experiments with the material and sound properties of language to offer provocative meditations on the production of meaning within our everyday contexts. Since the early 1970s, Hill's use of video has held a central role in his artistic practice, using the medium as a formal and structured site to both examine and 'deconstruct' the power of the image. Concerned with an increasingly homogenized visual culture, Hill disrupts the primary communicative function of electronic media by playing with sound, speed, and sequence, to produce not only radical breaks within our normative processes of perception, but also new ones. ways to find meaning.
