As a multimedia artist and filmmaker, Gresham Cash (b. 1988, Atlanta, USA) investigates how mediated environments shape cognition and daily experiences. Sound can focus or scatter attention; screens can narrate a story or distract; and sculpture can anchor or challenge viewers’ perceptions. By blending multichannel sound and video, noise and glitch aesthetics, as well as music and dance, his installations, sculptures, video art, and performances engage with ongoing debates about technological immersion, media saturation, and attention economies.
Instead of telling a single story, Gresham Cash explores the flexibility of attention by creating environments and sculptures that contain multiple narrative layers, encouraging a viewer’s multi-dimensional perception. His work aims to highlight perceptual processes within the technologically driven reality of modern life.
His films have won awards and been featured at festivals nationwide and in Europe. He has also toured the U.S., performing with various music groups. Alongside his visual art, he writes fiction and essays that have been published in publications across the U.S. and the UK.
Holding both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in wildlife biology from the University of Georgia, Gresham incorporates environmental and ecological research into his artistic practice. This background also influences his frequent use of found materials and old technology. From an ecological perspective, Gresham’s work reflects systems and rhizomatic networks that communicate and exist within spatial environments.
