Mary Ross
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Ross (born 1950 in New York, USA) is a fine art photographer and visual artist. In 1976, she began using video and computers to produce still images on film. As one of the first fine art photographers to do so, her photographs provide some of the earliest examples of how photography, video and computer technology converged in the 1970’s, emerged in the 1980’s, and eventually evolved into digital photography. She has worked with photography, video and computer art since the early 1970s. Her video and computer photographs and video art have been featured in hundreds of multimedia performances that she has produced in collaboration with her husband, composer and performer Eric Ross, as well as various other musicians and dancers. Her vintage video and digital still photographs are in the permanent collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris; Musée Réattu, Arles, France; Kunsthaus, Zurich; International Polaroid Collection; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Royal Library, Copenhagen; Herbert Johnson Museum at Cornell University and the Lincoln Center Library Dance Collection, New York City.Ross, Mary
