Marisa Olson

She has been a visiting artist at Yale, SAIC, VCU, Oberlin, Brown, and elsewhere, and she has also worked on the faculty team at SUNY Purchase, Rhode Island School of Design and New York University.

[6] The term Postinternet, often referred to as an era discussed by many contemporary artists examining the dawn of new technology, is attributed to be coined by Marisa Olson[7] around 2006.

Post-audition, Marisa Olson created a “consciously artless” video combining footage that fictitiously acts out the audition.

The piece is a video which includes the artist speaking about the process and preparation as well as scenes from the real audition.

In the work, Olson handles the equipment in odd manners, continually breaking items such as vinyl records and cassette tapes.
