His work, both structuralist and conceptual, centers on an exploration of digital materiality, the audio-visual image as socio-historical text and the activation of experimental audio-visual constructions as instruments of cultural supersession.
Informed by his academic background in sociology & film theory in concert with a breadth of experience working in the television industry, Whitaker-Morrow investigates the physical, technological, social, and political dimensions of audio-visual encounters.
He holds an MFA with a concentration in Film, Video, and New Media from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago and a dual BA in Film and Media Studies and Sociology from Amherst College. He is currently a Post-Graduate Research Fellow in the Movement Lab at Rhode Island School of Design.
