SUMMARY:Paul Pfeiffer
DESCRIPTION:Paul Pfeiffer was born in Honolulu\, Hawaii\, but spent most of
  his childhood in the Philippines. He relocated to New York in 1990\, wher
 e he attended Hunter College and the Whitney Independent Study Program. Pf
 eiffer’s groundbreaking work in video\, sculpture\, and photography uses
  recent computer technologies to dissect the role that mass media plays in
  shaping consciousness. \n\nIn a series of video works focused on profess
 ional sports events—including basketball\, boxing\, and hockey—Pfeiffe
 r digitally removes the bodies of the players from the games\, shifting th
 e viewer’s focus to the spectators\, sports equipment\, or trophies won.
  Presented on small LCD screens and often looped\, these intimate and idea
 lized video works are meditations on faith\, desire\, and a contemporary c
 ulture obsessed with celebrity. Many of Pfeiffer’s works invite viewers 
 to exercise their imaginations or project their own fears and obsessions o
 nto the art object. Several of Pfeiffer’s sculptures include eerie\, com
 puter-generated recreations of props from Hollywood thrillers\, such as 
 Poltergeist\, and miniature dioramas of sets from films that include The
  Exorcist and The Amityville Horror. \n\nPfeiffer is the recipient of
  numerous awards and fellowships\, and was the inaugural recipient of the
  Bucksbaum Award\, given by the Whitney Museum of American Art (2000). I
 n 2002\, Pfeiffer was an artist-in-residence at Massachusetts Institute of
  Technology\, and at ArtPace in San Antonio\, Texas. In 2003\, a traveling
  retrospective of his work was organized by Massachusetts Institute of Tec
 hnology’s List Visual Arts Center and Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chica
 go.
