LIZABETH EVA ROSSOF

Lizabeth Eva Rossof (b.1973, USA) is an MFA candidate from the Conceptual Information Arts Department at San Francisco State University; she has received both the Thomas J Watson and the Jacob K Javits Fellowship Awards for her research-based art practice. Lizabeth’s current projects investigate the imagined, fantasy identities that are constructed in the mind when only limited public information on real people is perceived. She acts as a surveillor collecting mediated information of her subjects online, through television and in periodicals. Lizabeth then creates an algorithm (unique to each project) through which the gathered data is processed and her subjects’ portrait is rendered.
