samuel stubblefield
biography
sam stubblefield combines traditional artistic mediums with architecture, film, sound, live data,
and things digital, with the self-described goal of creating a more interesting life for anyone
who happens to come across his work. He also uses his work to explore how everyday life
connects to natural and unnatural phenomena, and how human behaviors connect to
specific possible futures. Stubblefield has created installations for Centre Pompidou, Amazon,
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and London Olympics. Stubblefield is also an instructor at
Experience Institute, the instigator of NOT ART organization, a musician, and founder of a
future-focused incubator with an interest in the internet as a material within fine art and
architecture.
