Golboo Amani, a graduate of ECUAD, is an interdisciplinary artist working with photography, installation, and performance. With a focus on process and research, Golboo’s practice fits within the discourse of knowledge production and distribution, utilizing the Internet and search engine results to highlight ways in which language and gestures become dominant tools of informing and imagining the world. This summer G. took part in the Hammock Residency’s Backyard Music Festival with her Plant Adoption installation and intervention. G. Amani’s recent works include Cyborg, a collaborative performance intervention involving, video projection, experimental sound and Internet generated media as part of a photography exhibit within a commercial gallery space. Curated by Liz Magor, G.’s Impression Series exhibited at the ECU's Graduation Exhibition, involves various experimental processes to collaboratively produce photographic images. Currently, Golboo is working with Internet found material in her blog works; http://thisisaviolentgesture.blogspot.com - highlighting the top image hit for various words as provided by Google Image Search as well as http://thingsimnotproudofhavingsaid.blogspot.com - extracting problematic, often oppressive, dialogue and discourse within virtual public spaces if popular news websites .
