Sue Slagle (stage name SUE-C) is a video and light artist working at the intersection of creative coding and live performance. For the past 18 years she has created handmade videos and live media performances, traveling extensively in the USA and internationally. Her works challenge the norms of photography, video, and technology by blending them all into an organic and improvisational live performance setting. Employing a variety of digital tools to create an experimental animation "instrument," she synthesizes cinema from photographs, drawings, watercolors, hand-made papers, fabrics and lighting effects.
SUE-C has performed and exhibited at a multitude of national and international venues and festivals including the Library of Congress, San Francisco International Film Festival, Oberhausen Short Film Festival, SFMoMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, REDCAT, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Arts, Pacific Film Archive, EMPAC, Ars Electronica, MUTEK, SONAR, Sonic Light, Transmediale, Marco Museum, ICA London and Laboral.
Current and past collaborators include Negativland, Dynasty Handbag, Laetitia Sonami, Morton Subotnick, Luc Ferrari, Antye Greie (AGF), Golan Levin, Joshua Kit Clayton, Wobbly, Sutekh, Matmos and Vladislav Delay. Slagle has taught courses and workshops at California College of the Arts, San Francisco Art Institute, Portland Community College, Pacific Northwest College of Art, UCLA, Open Signal and La Casa Encendida.
