Tiffany Holmes, PhD (born 1964) is new media artist living in Chicago, IL.

Early life and education

Tiffany Holmes was born in Baltimore, MD. Her formal education includes: a PhD (2004-2010) "Eco-visualization: Combining art and technology to reduce energy consumption," [1] earned via the Znode, a collaboration between the Institute for Cultural Studies, University of the Arts, Zurich and the Arts Department, University of Plymouth, UK; an MFA (1996-1999) Imaging and Digital Arts,[2] University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD; an MFA (1992-1996) Painting, Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, MD; and a BA (1986-1990, cum laude) Art History with a minor in Environmental Studies, Williams College, Williamstown, MA.

Work

In her research and practice, Tiffany Holmes explores the potential of technology to promote positive environmental stewardship. She coined the term "eco-visualization" in 2005.[3][4] Her creative projects include a commission for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications where sequences of experimental animations visualize real time energy loads.[5]

Her paper detailing this work, “Eco-visualization: Combining art and technology to reduce energy consumption,” won a Best Paper award at Creativity and Cognition 2007 [6] and a 2010 doctoral degree. She lectures and exhibits worldwide in these venues: Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago,[7] J. Paul Getty Museum [8] in Los Angeles, 01SJ Biennial, Siggraph 2000, Worldart in Denmark, Interaction ’01 in Japan, ISEA Nagoya. A recipient of the Michigan Society of Fellows research fellowship [9] in 1998, Holmes has earned the Illinois Arts Council individual grant, an Artists-in-Labs residency award in Switzerland, and a 2010 Rhizome Commission.[10]

Holmes is a professor in the Department of Art and Technology Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
