Moser will discuss his work during a virtual lecture on April 14 at 6 p.m. To join the lecture, please visit the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery website. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Moser’s research includes the creation of three visual databases of light, rhythm and color sequence in films, video games and music videos. The databases contain over 6,000 entries, which display every frame of a video simultaneously, creating a timeline of the film, video game or music video. Hosted on The Research Repository @ WVU, the database is accessed by academic researchers, artists, filmmakers, gamers and film buffs from around the world.
The artist’s work has been featured on ACRE TV; at the Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery in Zagreb, Croatia; and at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the 32nd Black Maria Film Festival. Most recently, Moser took third prize at the Contemporary South exhibit at VAE Raleigh in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Moser received his Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Millersville University and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. He is currently an assistant professor and coordinator of the Interactive Design for Media Program at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia.
