Port Huron Project - The Artist

The Artist

The Port Huron Project is organized by Mark Tribe, an artist and curator whose interests include art, technology, and politics. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. Tribe is the co-author, with Reena Jana, of New Media Art (Taschen, 2006). His art work has been exhibited at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and Gigantic Art Space in New York City. He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. In 1996, Mark founded Rhizome, an online resource for new media artists, and he now chairs Rhizome's board of directors. He received an MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990.

A team of five Brown University students assisted Tribe in the summer of 2007. These students received funding from the Karen T. Romer Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards, Brown University. General funding for the project was provided by Office of the Vice President for Research, Brown University and the Department of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University.
