Darrin Martin creates video, sculpture, and print-based installations that engage the synesthetic qualities of perception. Influenced by his own experiences with hearing loss, queer ecologies, and sound studies, his current projects consider notions of accessibility using tactility, sonic analogies, and audio descriptions. His videos have screened internationally at festivals and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, Pacific Film Archive, Impakt Festival, European Media Art Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival and Contemporary Calgary. His installations have exhibited at venues including the Kitchen, Moscow State Vadim Sidur Museum, University of Toronto, Aggregate Space Gallery, SOMArts and, most recently, Saint Joseph’s Art Society. He has held artist residencies at Cite Internationale des Arts, Eyebeam, Experimental Television Center, Signal Culture, Wassaic Project, and Recology Artists in Residence. Martin also occasionally curates video screenings and exhibitions and is a Professor and Co-Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at University of California, Davis.
