Blake Carrington

Blake Marques Carrington works within the spheres of the sound, visual and performing arts, guided by a conceptual inquiry of “speculative forensics”. He was awarded a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award for 2025 to explore “transdisciplinary practices in art and technology” with hosts at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. A transdisciplinary current runs through all of his work, with special interest in how tools are incorporated into the human sensorium to form expanded realities. His work is realized largely as audiovisual installations, performances, album releases, and inkjet paintings. Previously he has also received a Jerome Foundation Travel Study Grant to research media arts in Japan, a NYFA Fellowship in Electronic Arts, and a NYSCA Distribution Grant. He has had four solo exhibitions in the U.S., and has released 6 solo music albums, including ones released by the LA-based label Dragons Eye Recordings and Radio del Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. Working collaboratively, he has created and performed concert visuals with Patti Smith and Soundwalk Collective, and co-founded a platform for contemporary video art projections in public spaces called Urban Video Project that featured the work of Trevor Paglen, Jill Magid, and Miranda Lichtenstein. Blake lives and works in Brooklyn, where he coordinates the Art+Technology program in the Digital Arts Department at Pratt Institute.
