Roz Dimon

Dimon is an artist immersed in both the fine art and corporate art arenas. Her art generally makes fun of both, taking aim at our rampant American commercialism. "Mr. Clean (put a man in your kitchen)" was on view at the notorious Slop Art supermarket exhibition.

Trained in traditional fine art, Dimon accidentally became involved with computers through a turn in her work "Information Paintings," 1979-1989. The situation crescendoed in a new media exhibition which she curated, co-produced, participated in, nearly died from, but survived to add to her resume a multimedia, interactive, on-line exhibition with Ricco/Maresca Gallery, Soho, NYC (covered by national broadcast NBC, CBS, press and on-line critics). By this time, most of her patrons hardly knew how to access her site, much less buy her art which toured in two 1999 international CD-ROM exhibitions at Cornell University and MECAD, Barcelona, Spain.

So to make a long story short, she turned Roz Dimon into Dimon Arts, Inc., a multimedia consultant to museums, nonprofit art organizations (Intercambios of El Salvador) and (profit!) corporations (Estee Lauder, Lehman Brothers and others). This led to her current incarnation as Manager of New Media for Deloitte & Touche, where she helps to bring the best of the bean counters into the 21st century while gaining access to talented people and purchase orders and state-of-the-art technology. For more inspiring commercial efforts such as Coca-Cola Cures Depression Flash/shockwave animations (thanks to funding from Experimental TV Center 1998) please tune in.

  • Conversation with Barbara London, David Ross and Constance Dejong at Hunter College Art Gallery Bibliography

    Account of a panel conversation between Barbara London, David Ross and Constance DeJong at Hunter College Art Galleries presented in conjunction with The Experimental Television Center: A History, ETC... (Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell Library; Sept 25–Nov 21, 2015). Panelists discussed histories of video and image-processing practices and named Nam June Paik, Bill Viola and Vito Acconci; Barbara London described efforts to bring video into MoMA and David Ross expressed skepticism toward some image-processed work. The attendee criticized the panel for limited attention to ETC artists, recorded Ross’s remark that one had to be stoned to watch image-processed work, and reflected on ETC technologies and practices including real-time patching, flow and works such as Global Groove and A Tribute to John Cage.
