Nadav Assor

Nadav Assor employs a range of expanded media practices to explore the unstable condition of the hyper-mediated body, the “new flesh”, constantly transformed by technology, in its immediate social, political, sensory, and emotional environment. This is often done via lo-fi reenactments of appropriated military-industrial technologies, examining technological mediation as an essential and transformative human condition.

For more than 10 years, Assor has performed and exhibited internationally in festivals, music venues, museums and galleries in North America, Israel, Europe and Asia. Some recent venues for his work include Hong-Gah Museum (Taipei), Centre Arts Santa Monica (Barcelona), Hyphen Hub (NYC), Edith-Russ-Haus (Oldenburg), Transmediale Festival (Berlin), the European Media Arts Festival, the Soundwave Biennial (San Francisco), Residency Unlimited (NYC), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), the Koffler Center (Toronto), Julie M Gallery (Tel Aviv), Xuzhou Museum (China), and many others. Assor’s work was reviewed in publications such as Artforum, Vice Motherboard, Art Monthly UK, Haaretz, Time Out, the Creators Project and more. He holds an MFA in Art & Technology from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2010, full merit fellow), where he was the inaugural recipient of the Edes Award, one of the graduate schools highest honors. He is a recipient of multiple grants and awards in the U.S. and Israel, and currently serves as an Assistant Professor and an Associate Director of the Center for Arts & Technology at Connecticut College in the U.S.
