VBLANK is a live media project by Wil Lindsay. Wil lives and plays in Philadelphia, where he teaches Interactive Media at Philadelphia University. He is the first resident artist at Philadelphia’s The Hacktory, and creates installation and performative visual works that can be seen regionally and throughout the country. His works deal with the contextualization of technology in our cultural and social memories.
