William Scarbrough is an artist whose work is deeply engaged with narratives of violence, signification and ethics as presented in the global media. In his intensely researched multimedia projects, he employs the ubiquity of the media’s visual violence to probe the less spectacular, but no less imperative aspects of emotional, imaginary, physical or psychic violence. In his hands, information becomes a signifier of both event and possibility, of relationships and consequences. As such, his work is committed to finding the connections and hidden histories that exist between spectacular events and those that become invisible in the media’s voracious hunt for the next big event.
