"Michael Chernoff is a filmmaker and installation artist whose work recontextualizes the cultural dominance of video screens as surveillance spaces through immersive practices in virtual production, signal processing, and intermedia assemblage. His films and video art installations often feature conceptually driven 'video archaeology objects' made by combining obsolete video equipment with digital technologies, offering insights into the historic effects and conceptual identity of video signals, screens, and media. Through audience interactivity, his use of live cameras, feedback, 3D models, and video screens draws attention to 'invisible' media environments naturalized within architectural spaces. His other interests include virtuality, technocracy, post-industrial landscapes, and sustainability.

His work has been supported by institutions such as FEED Media Center, Buffalo International Film Festival, and the Chroma Art Film Festival. He teaches digital and 3D arts in the School of Visual Art + New Media at SUNY Fredonia."
