Zachary Lieberman,
Performance Artist, New York

If you could see the voice, what would it look like? The performances, installations and online works of Zachary Lieberman aim to make the invisible visible. His projects explore the nature of communication by visualizing sound, movement and human behaviour. Together with collaborater Golan Levin he created "Messa Di Voce", a concert performance in which the speech, shouts and songs of two vocalists were radically augmented in real-time by interactive visualization software. One of his most recent installations is "Motionscapes" which aims to give disabled children new ways of interacting with their environment and expressing themselves. Lieberman has held artist residencies at Ars Electronica Futurelab, Eyebeam, and most recently at the New York Dance Theatre Workshop. Together with Golan Levin he has been nominated for Wired magazine's artist of the year award in 2005.
