ARTS PROFESSOR

Gabriel Barcia-Colombo is an artist whose work takes the form of video sculptures, immersive performances, large scale projections and vending machines that sell human DNA. In all of his projects, Gabe explores and plays with the digitization of memories, the role of technology in society and the virtual and physical identities we create across platforms. His work explores the threshold between warning and prophecy, questioning technological dependency and examining how algorithmic systems increasingly shape knowledge, prediction, and belief.

His work has been featured at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Victoria & Albert Museum,  Grand Central Terminal, New York Public Library, Times Square and Fulton Center in lower Manhattan. Gabe is a two time New York Foundation for the Arts grant awardee, Senior TED Fellow, and Steve Jobs Archive mentor. 

Gabe was an artist in residence at Adobe, LACMA, The Museum of Arts and Design, The Neon Museum of Las Vegas, and the Public Artist in residence in New York City. He directed the music video for “Everybody Laughs” the first single from David Byrne’s latest album: “Who is the Sky?”

In the summer Gabe is a teaching artist at the Arts Council of New Orleans.
