Born in Belfast in 1973, computer artist and animator Glenn Marshall is a Prix Ars Electronica winner, and a Lumen Prize finalist, considered the two most prestigious digital arts awards in the world. He has collaborated with Peter Gabriel and Tangerine Dream on music videos and concert visuals.
His animations, interactive artworks, and visual art, are created through code art and innovative software skills. Inspired by science and nature, the meditative and the abstract, and with a philosophical narrative, his work spans 20 years, winning awards and screened at many film festivals world wide.
In 2009 he won the prestigious Prix Ars Electronica for a music video he created for Peter Gabriel – unique in that it was created entirely out of programming and algorithms. Another of his videos features on Gabriel’s ‘Best Of’ DVD compilation. He has also collaborated on live concert visuals with him.
In 2015 he received the the Major Individual Award from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, their highest recognition given to leading artists in the country. Glenn’s entire works, hosted on Vimeo, have had over 1 Million plays to date.
