April Greiman
April Greiman was born in Metropolitan New York City and studied at the Allgemeine Kuntsgewerbeschule in Basel, Switzerland, and the Kansas City Art Institute. She moved to Los Angeles in 1976, establishing her multi-disciplinary practice, Made in Space.
Greiman has been instrumental in the acceptance and use of advanced technology in the arts and design process since the early 1980's. She pioneered digital and computer art and became renowned for unique experiments with the Macintosh computer. Legendary commissions for experimental merger of word and image include PacTel, Esprit, US West, Walker Art Center, SCI-Arc, and the US Postal Service.
In 2006, the Pasadena Museum of California Art mounted a one-woman show of April’s digital photography: Drive-by Shooting, and in 2007, she was awarded a public art commission, an 8,200 sq foot digital video image wall mural on an Arquitectonica Building in downtown Los Angeles.
Today, April Greiman continues a unique approach that blends technology and science with symbol, myth, words and images, with texture and space. Projects range from motion and animation, three-dimensional objects and exhibitions, to the development of color, surfaces and materials palettes with architects.
