‘Black Metal Daisy’ is multimedia artist Tucker Stilley’s recreation of the journal of Daisy, who lives in an unrecognizable future – one just around the corner. With prints, soundscapes, and video, Daisy documents her fragmented, incomprehensible life.

The show will be up until July 3rd, 2017.

Multimedia artist Tucker Stilley chops, collages, and recombines images and sounds, with a wry, generous take on art that leaves few stones unturned.

Everything on Stilley’s hybrid computer is raw material. With “brute-force computing’ – searches, actions, maps and gestures become “Meta-art” – and with witty selectivity, Stilley brings us the world refracted, shattered and illuminated, face-first on its mysterious side.

An artist for over 35 years, Tucker Stilley, 55, attended Studio for Interrelated Media, at the Massachusetts College of Art. He has worked in Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as a media artist, sound designer and film editor. Previous exhibitions include the MFA, Harding House and ART, Cambridge MA, and ACP,The Monte Vista Projects, REDCAT,Keystone and Octopus Garden Salon, Los Angeles, CA.

Diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) in 2005,
Stilley is now mostly paralyzed being able to only use his eyes to make his art. He uses a bizarre hybrid PC/MAC eye tracker system where his eyes become the computer mouse.

Stilley is artificially – starkly – divided into tech…and spirit. His experience with ALS has had a major impact on himself as an artist and on his creative thought processes. Inhabiting a place where modernism and chaos theory collide, his lack of body necessitates new sources of intent, gesture and content.
