Bio:
        How do we know what we know about each other? How do we construct our identity? How do we evaluate others? Social media artist Josh Weinstein has a relentless curiosity about the inherent paradoxes of identity and perception and is obsessed with understanding how we know what we know about each other. His work probes questions of identity and perception by inverting conventional media processes. By deconstructing processes such as interview, street shooting and voice over his work calls into question both the convention behind the construction of meaning in media and the parallel constructions of identity in the individual. Our self-perception and our perception of others are both the source and subject of the work.
        Josh Weinstein does a lot of social experiments, some involving video and spends a lot of time working inside corporations. He was awarded a residency at Experimental Television Center in 2004. He created Inside Cinema (insidecinema.net) in 2000, which is devoted to producing documentaries that intend to stimulate change through self-awareness. His work has been shown at Deitch Projects (NYC), Jessica Murray Projects (NYC) and The Tank (NYC) as well as screenings at Blue November Film Festival (Tulsa, OK), dvblog.org, EdgeWorks Film Festival (San Antonio, TX), Heilbronn Public Library (Germany), Synthetic Zero (Bronx, NY), video_dumbo 2005 (Brooklyn, NY).
