ADAM KENDALL
(September 2007)

Curricula Vitae:

Overview

Adam Kendall is a video-artist and musician living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Through his own work and the A/V series he curates, Adam explores the means of multimedia improvisation and composition. Working solo or with other artists, he approaches live video as a medium as dynamic and improvisational as traditional performance arts, and he approaches composed video with a clear sense of form and counterpoint. He draws from his background in traditional, improvisational and alternative techniques. Adam is a computer programmer and audio engineer and incorporates these disciplines into his work. http://www.hellbender.org
