As part of the SF State Art Department Faculty Exhibition, professors discuss their work. A professor in conceptual and information arts, Levine is a visual artist working in a wide range of digital media, with current work in locative and mobile technologies. Recent projects use the web, mapping and GPS coordinates to collapse local and global geopolitical boundaries and borders, and translate distant events on local ground. Her writings on locative media and expanding cartographic imagination have been presented at MIT, University of Wisconsin, Conney Conference for Jewish Studies and many more. Her experimental narrative and documentary award-winning videos have shown at New York’s Lincoln Center, National Gallery of Canada and in film and video festivals in many countries including Japan, U.S, France, England and Canada. Belau, assistant professor in printmaking, draws from observation to trace, re-trace, edit and re-configure drawings onto the printing plate. Out of this process springs the conceptual basis for the work: the experience of time, imperfections in observation, and the shifts in recording as stories are told and retold. While her work reflects process and the facts of navigating various printmaking techniques, it is also rooted in form and color. She holds a B.A. from University of California, Santa Cruz, and an M.F.A. from University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
