Justin Lincoln



General or brief info

Justin Lincoln is an experimental artist and educator. His work has to do with experimental film, creative computer programming, Tumblr, and video montage. Lincoln is influenced by John Cage, Allan Kaprow, and avant-garde writers William S. Burroughs and Kathy Acker. Lincoln currently works at Whitman College in the NorthWest of the United States. '

Early Life/Education'

Justin Lincoln graduated with a BA in American Literature from Longwood College in 1995. He then went on to earn a BFA in Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2000, and an MFA in Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 2002.

Work

Lincoln’s work is very experimental and related to interpersonal connection. His work focuses more on formal composition and structure rather than storytelling. His most recent work has been built around “blogmixing,” which is a process where he browses Tumblr blogs and screencaps his monitor as he scrolls through the many images and texts found on the website. His goal of this was to find ways to connect the bits and pieces of information we see online and put them together in meaningful ways. His work also explores how digital media opens up new channels for communication and self-discovery.
