Scott F. Hall

About me:

Scott F. Hall, b. 1963, California, U.S.A.

Scott F. Hall is an intermedia artist who has invented an original form and practice he refers to both as "scultura sana" (sound sculpture) and "sonus animatio" (moving pictures in sound). Hall's pieces have been described best as "soundtracks for films seen only in the mind." Within his diverse creative paradigm, Hall produces work for exhibition in contemporary international galleries, museums, festivals, and alternative venues. Hall’s creative work is collected by private individuals worldwide and is also included in these and other institutional permanent collections: Kentucky School for the Deaf, Danville; John Sloan Fine Arts Center Gallery, Lock Haven University, Pennsylvania; Centre for Art Tapes, Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA; Orquestra del Caos/Sonoscop, Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona, Barcelona, SPAIN; and Casoria Contemporary Art Museum, Casoria, Naples, ITALY.
