Artist: Michael Ries
“A map is a wonderful mix of ancient and modern technologies that fashions a window into the unknown. Even the familiar can become a unique and strange place with a map in hand.”
Michael Ries is a senior interactive media major from Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to returning to school to further his art education, he worked as a full time network engineer, and specializes in new media and technology. His work engages technology as a medium with which he can achieve his artist vision. Through his work he hopes to expose the myth of the omnipotence of the computer and to demonstrate that our senses lead us to interpret our world. Michael has participated in the 2007 Enzimi Festival in Rome and the 2006 Jetlag: Traveling Art exhibition in Seoul,South Korea.
