About the Artists
EcoArtTech was founded by Cary Peppermint and Leila Christine Nadir in 2005 as a collaborative platform for art-making that merges environmental concerns with digital technologies. EcoArtTech is a 2009 Artist Fellowship recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts. Their most recent works include Untitled Landscape #5, a digital environmental piece commissioned by the Whitney Museum of Art for its website, and Eclipse, an internet-based work commissioned by Turbulence of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.

By examining how digital technologies can make ecological problems more salient, by reusing or recycling obsolete technologies for new uses, and by exploring how digital spaces and the public domain may require environmental protection, much like nature, EcoArtTech engages in re-imagining the relationship between nature and technology.

A bout Fluid Frontier
Through the fall and winter EcoArtTech will conduct short residencies at the College of Visual Arts and Design at UNT in a collaborative exploration of the environment as an ongoing personal, geographical and cultural experience. This exploration is titled Fluid Frontier, a residency, exhibition and symposium program organized by CVAD in conjunction with UNT's 3rd biennial water conference, WaterWays 2010, organized by the Philosophy of Water Project. The exhibition dates are March 2-27, 2010, with Fluid Frontier and WaterWays 2010 symposium programs on March 3 – 5.

Fluid Frontier is supported in part by grants from the Texas Commission on the Arts, UNT Fine Arts Series, CVAD Visiting Artist and Scholar Committee, and Wells Fargo.
