DC Spensley
Presently a graduate student at San Jose’s CADRE Laboratory for New Media and alumni of the San Francisco Art Institute, DC Spensley has lived and worked in Northern California since 1986. Spensley wears the hat of writer, director, cinematographer, composer, performance artist and most recently has achieved critical notoriety incorporating conceptual performance and situated technology in the virtual reality simulation of Second Life. While most people jealously guard their pseudonymity inside this alternate reality, Spensley attempts parity in both worlds and has exhibited this work internationally at the ZeroOne Biennial/ISEA conference in 2006, the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival 2006, Ars Electronica 2007, and Jack the Pelican Presents Gallery in Brooklyn New York 2008. A 2008 Rockefeller Foundation nominee, Spensley’s work has appeared in the New York Times Sunday Magazine i(2009) and has been profiled on PBS’s Art21 (2010) and appeared in numerous publications both in print and electronic media.
