I forgot to mention that Anthony DeSanto is a multidisciplinary researcher, artist and snoozer who is interested in sleep and its relationship to the emotional complexity of our human experience. His attention and investigation is aimed at uncovering truths and origins related to our desire for rich sensory experiences, the leverage of time in these pursuits, and the communal neglect of our natural rhythms as desire becomes an increasingly valuable corporate currency. Blah blah blah blah blah His videos, installation works, sculptures, sound/music projects and works on paper create textured and hazy worlds of disorentation inspired by modulation, vice, nightlife and the internet, but rooted in sensations of trance, epiphany, wonder and stimulation. His photographic work has shifted from looking at nighttime itself as a subject, to coveting what sleep affords to us - banalities, moments of stasis, emotional calm and relief in the surrendering of oneself to time, natural rhythm and the general "unknown".
