Diane Willow is a multi-modal artist and creative catalyst. By any medium necessary best describes her process of moving fluidly among media such as tactile sound, bioluminescent plankton, spatial video, and tune-able atmospheres. She shapes participatory environments that invite people to be choreographers of their experience of art. Diane's exhibitions have been hosted in eclectic places that include in-between architectural spaces in Beijing, a thousand-year-old courtyard room in Kaihua Temple Shanxi, pediatric waiting rooms in Boston neighborhood health centers, Apex Art in NYC, and the MIT Museum. She has been artist-in-resident and visiting professor at the MIT Media Lab and guest professor of new media at the Beijing Film Academy.
Professor, Scholar of the College, and Imagine Fund Arts, Humanities, and Design Chair at the University of Minnesota, Diane is focused on interdisciplinary art, creative interdependence, and participatory culture. She catalyzed the ArTeS Collaborative Research Studio and the CHANT Collaborative.
