Biography Pat Ńeill: Although his work embraces an extremely wide technical and aesthetic scope, he is perhaps best known for his startling, surrealistic, and humorous film compositions achieved through a mastery of the optical printer. His films and other artworks often reveal a complex and mysterious interest in the connections and clashes between the natural world and human civilization. O?Neill has combined found footage with experimental montage and compositing techniques to create a graphic language that deals with how different, often disparate elements assembled together in the frame relate to one another. His innovative optical techniques anticipated our digital landscape well before its time. When he taught at Cal Arts as one of the original faculty members in the 1970?s, his students went on to form the special effects unit which created the original STAR WARS films. He is now making dazzlingly original work in digital video.
