Eric Souther is a new media artist who draws on a multitude of disciplines, including anthropology, linguistics, ritual, critical theory, and New Materialism. He develops video tools that investigate technological and cultural ecologies, agency, and emergence. He seeks new ways to see beyond the seductive qualities of an image and find invisible connections that help us understand our digital and non-digital existence. His work spans many avenues, including single-channel video, interactive installation, projection mapping, print, virtual reality, and audiovisual performance.

His work has been presented nationally and internationally at venues such as the Museum of Art and Design, NYC, the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY, and the Museum of Art, Zhangzhou, China. His work has been exhibited at the Athens Digital Arts Festival, Athens, Greece, Istanbul International Experimental Film Festival, Beyoglu, Instanbul, Cronosfera Festival, Alexandria, Italy, Galerija 12 New Media Hub, Belgrade, Serbia, Simultan Festival, Timisoara, Romania, and the ECRÃ Festival of Audiovisual Experimentations, Rio de Janeiro.
