description: "Gary Hill (1951) is an American artist whose work has centered on video, installation art, sculpture and performance. Based on works extending over fifty years from the late 1960s onward, he is considered a foundational figure in the areas of single- and multi-channel video and new-media art. Although his work has connections to conceptual art and minimalism, Hill is known for an independent approach that is inspired more by philosophical and literary texts than by central concerns of art and film such as representation, narrative and description. He has used an array of nascent technologies—computer software, projection, virtual reality, CGI—to examine consciousness and its relationship to the body, perception, time, and visual and verbal language. Los Angeles Times critic David Pagel commented, \"Hill creatively uses high-tech instruments to elicit personal experiences of archetypal simplicity. With his work, the invisible operations of thinking take tangible shape. Perception and cognition circle around one another, engaging their subjects.\""
