Bio and Art
Volunteering in Ache Indonesia 2007
Marie Wustner is an American documentary painter, photographer, and experimental video artist. Her background in these three mediums has influenced her interest in socially relevant and publicly accessible art forms. Her current work with experimental documentary video reveals a strong commitment to citizen journalism informed by media literacy. This work highlights open source websites sites, like Youtube, as important cultural artifact libraries. She believes these databases are essential for the democratization of mass media, so that we may all be producers as well as consumers. Her interest in the potential of citizen media derives from her extensive travel, embedded journalism, and volunteer work, in South East Asia and China.
Marie holds a B.A. from Hobart and William Smith Colleges with a major in Studio Art and a minor in Art Education. She is currently completing her MFA in Documentary Media at Ryerson University. Marie's work has been exhibited in Philadelphia PA, Byron Bay Australia, Geneva NY and her debut in Canada will be at the NFB Toronto this June, during the Doc Now festival.
