Block quote
Scott Pagano is an American video artist, filmmaker, and motion designer. He creates moving image content utilizing shards of architecture, disfunction, and futurism. With influences ranging from minimal painting to cinema, his work offers a re-envisioned perspective on the graphic stratas that saturate our visual perception. His meticulously constructed abstract artworks push the boundaries of audio-visual composition and process using a dynamic mix of cinematographic and synthetic imagery. His music videos and motion art works have been screened in venues ranging from international film festivals to MTV. He has worked with a wide range of notable musicians including BT, Funkstorung, Twerk, Richard Devine, Christopher Willits, Monolake, Deadbeat, Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Kid606, Joan Jeanrenaud, and the Kronos Quartet.
Pagano is also the cocurator of the acclaimed RELINE DVD, a series of DVD releases that feature experimental and envelope-pushing video art. Reline2 was released on September 29th 2006 on Microcinema's Blackchair label.
