Phillip David Stearns
2024 Fellow
Phillip David Stearns is a Denver based artist whose practice deals with themes that include the impacts of contemporary information systems, electronics and communications technology, emerging materials and hybrid processes. Through playful experimentation, deconstruction, and reconfiguration, Phillip engages these themes to reveal the obscured or invisible, and give form to the intangible. He approaches technology as a critical medium, positioning it in a way that is self-reflexive to seek out the sublime in the mundane. Phillip is a Greene Fellowship recipient for 2024. His projects have been featured in WIRED, The Huffington Post, VICE Motherboard, The Creators Project, Hyperallergic, and FRAME. His work has been exhibited internationally by institutions including the Zhongzhou Art Museum, Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation, Haus der Elektronischen Künste Basel, Park Avenue Armory, ELEKTRA-BIAN, Tate Britain, Transmediale, Anyang Public Art Project, Festival de Arte Digital (FAD), FILE, and Transitio MX.
