Joe Reinsel creates sound and video art using digital and analog tools and instruments. His works deal with feelings of connection to and transcendence across emotion and reality. He uses digital media including video, video and sound installation, music, and Internet art, to give form and substance to his vision. His works question the linkages of interpersonal relationships in the media and real life through allegory and real-time samplings of the environment. Reinsel’s background in music composition provides a base from which to explore interests in a range of electronic media.Joseph’s works have been performed at national and international events including: the MAXIS Fesitval of Sound and Experimental Music (Sheffield,UK); Roulette(NY); Deep Listening Space (NY); Galapogos Arts Space (NY); Tonic/subtonic ( NY); Engine27 (NY); Mobius (Boston, MA); Harvestworks Digital Media Center (NY); Also his projects have been supported by the Baltimore Museum of Art;. New York State Council for the Arts; and the New York Foundation for the Arts.Reinsel presently lectures in the Arts Department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and is the Digital Media Specialist at the Johns Hopkins University Digital Media Center.He has a Master of Fine Arts in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Master of Arts in Music Composition from Radford University.

Role in Simultaneous Translation:
Joe will work with James Rouvelle in Baltimore. Together they will implement James' robotic sensors and stream their output to Madrid. During the performance these devices will consider the hardware of the computer itself, picking up frequencies from the guts of the computer as it processes its data. The resulting information will be cross processed with the audio streaming in from Spain to create something wholly different.
