BIO

(B. 1981, Falls Church, VA)

Rhonda Holberton’s multimedia installations make use of digital and interactive technologies integrated into traditional methods of art production. Working in sculpture, installation and photography, Rhonda Holberton employs a hybrid of scientific and metaphysical practices to reveal a symbolic reading of empirical canons of belief. Holberton received her MFA from Stanford University and her BFA from the California College of the Arts. She was a distinguished lecturer at Stanford University and is currently a professor of Digital Media Art at San Jose State University. Holberton was a CAMAC Artist in Residence at Marnay-sur-Seine, France, and was awarded a Foundation Tenot Fellowship in Paris. Holberton has recently exhibited at San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, FIFI Projects Mexico City, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and The Berkeley Art Center. She is represented by CULT | Aimee Friberg Exhibitions.
