Paul Vanouse has been working in interactive electronic media since 1990, exploring the intersections of big science and popular culture. He is an Assistant Professor of Art at SUNY Buffalo and a Research Fellow at the Studio for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University. Vanouse's electronic cinema, installation and performances have been exhibited in Austria, Brazil, France, Scotland, Belgium, Chile, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, Germany and widely across the US. While Vanouse often designs his work for public spaces, he has also shown in major museums including: The Carnegie Museum of Art and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Louvre Museum in Paris. His work has been supported by grants and fellowships from the PA Council on the Arts, the A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust, Sun Microsystems, the Howard Heinz Endowment, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the National Science Foundation. His most recent collaborative work Terminal Time, is an interactive, artificial intelligence-based, historical documentary which uses audience responses to psychographic questionnaires to bring each audience "the history they deserve."
