Loraine Wible
Loraine Wible was born in Paris in 1984. She is the daughter of a print making artist and a filmmaker. She started her education in the world of film and obtained a BFA in video documentary at the Ecole Superieur de Realisation Audiovisuel in 2006. After a short career in television she decided to attend graduate school and turned to visual arts. In 2009 she obtained a MFA in electronic arts from the University Of Cincinnati where she then established her artistic practice.
Wible is a pataphysics enthusiast who tries to uncover structural methods of institutions through absurdism and humor. Her work playfully combines digital tools such as video, animation, algorithms, sound, 3-D modeling, and other computer arts (including A.I. and algorithms) to create bridges between the architecture and the narrative. Her work has been screened and exhibited internationally including at the San Francisco Cinematheque, the Icebox Gallery in Philadelphia, The Weston Gallery in Cincinnati, The 21C Museum of Cincinnati, The Contemporary Art Museum of Cincinnati, Le Musee St Remi in France, La Villa Douce in France, Thailand New Music and Arts Symposium, and many more.
Wible is also passionately involved in the artistic life of her community where she has successfully carried on multiple gallery and curatorial projects. In 2009 she launched Museum Gallery/Gallery Museum, an experimental art space that playfully challenged art institutions. In 2014 she initiated a new curatorial collective called NEAR*BY that organized shows in local landmarks. In 2018 she joined the Philadelphia-based collective Vox Populi where she has both curated screenings and showed some of her video and installation works. During the Pandemic lockdown, she joined Thomas Osorio in an outdoor guerilla video projection project called Satellite TV.
Wible has been an assistant professor at The Art Academy Of Cincinnati since 2018 where she is the head of the Digital Arts Animation department. In the past she has taught in the Film+Video department of The University of The Arts in Philadelphia and the New Media department of Northern Kentucky University.
