John Craig Freeman Biography

John Craig Freeman is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on February 16, 1959 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Orators, Rostrums, and Propaganda Stands is inspired by works by Gustav Klutsis, including his designs for Screen-radio Orators, Rostrums, and Propaganda Stands in 1922. Each of the four virtual orators showcases an animation in black and white from a current mass uprising: Tank Man near Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989; the assassination in 1989 of Neda Agha- Soltan in 2009, who was killed on the streets in Tehran at the time of 2009’s Iranian elections as well as images taken from Tahrir Square in Cairo during the 2011 Arab Spring; and the 2011 Occupy Wall Street uprising. Each of these pictures is paired, as a the form of a montage, and frames taken from The Odessa Steps scene of Sergei Eisenstein’s classic Battleship Potemkin film. When they are touched, the virtual objects emit sound effects from the revolution. The stands evoke the revitalisation and the nostalgia of our current ideas of political zeal as they redefine the plaza of the museum in the role of a public square.

Freeman is an artist who uses emerging technologies to create large-scale public art at locations where the effects of globalization have a direct impact on the lives of those living within local communities. Freeman’s work in public art has grown from the billboards that were used in the 1990s, to mixed reality installations by the beginning of the century, with his current focus on the augmented reality. In an interview in 2012, Freeman stated, “My work seeks to expand the notion of public by exploring how digital networked technology is transforming our sense of place.”

The project exhibits a replica of a vintage New York City subway entrance that transports visitors to downtown Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city. It uses augmented reality and photogrammetry technologies to display 3D models of Zurich’s old town and the historic ″Augustinergasse.″ MetroNeX+ is presented by ETH Zurichhttps, Digital Art Week International, and Virtuale Switzerland.

Water wARs was an augmented reality pavilion for undocumented artists/squatters and water war refugees, which anticipates the flood of environmental refugees into the developed world caused by environmental degradation, global warming and the privatization of the world’s drinking water supply by multinational corporations. Water wARs was exhibited as part of the Manifest.AR’s unofficial Venice Biennial Intervention in front of the main pavilion in Giardini and in the Piazza San Marco during the 54th Venice Biennial International Art Exhibition, ILLUMInations.

Freeman started his career as an academic in the decade of the 1990s. His first assignment was at the time of his arrival in San Diego, where he taught in the University Of California, San Diego for three and three and a half years. The professor was assistant of the University of Florida from 1994 until 1999, and directed the photography program. From 1999 until 2002, He was the director of the curriculum for digital media arts and was an assistant professor within the Art Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is now an adjunct professor for New Media at Emerson College in Boston. In 2012, he was awarded an appointment as a visiting scholar with the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts, University of California, San Diego. In 2006, he was an instructor in Shih Hsin University, in Taipei, Taiwan. In the year 2011, Freeman was appointed to the editorial board for the Public Art Dialogue.
