Research
Professor Farbrook specializes in alternative uses for video game technology, virtual installation art, video, sound, and live performance hybrids. Working from a strong literary background, he uses virtual space as a means of creating new forms of narrative. Thematically his work explores the relationships between media influences and cultural mythology as well as the overall construction of perception, often creating a continuous play between material and intellectual spaces. His artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally, frequently merging physical and virtual space by including network components to gallery and museum installations.
