About David Balluff

I am especially interested in the intersection of new media, art, communication, and the way that we as a society express cultural truths and fictions.

As an artist, proximity to advertising and mass media has given me the ability to graft my own narratives onto familiar plotlines and archetypes as a form of "cultural counter-point" to assumed notions of identity, gender, context and memory. By blurring the lines between certainty and doubt, I create opportunities for the imagination to play.

Currently, I am located in Brooklyn, NY, and looking for freelance web and graphic design work. In the past twenty years I have also been a teacher, designer, writer and a projectionist. From 1995 - 2001, I ran my own graphic and web design company in this city, working for a variety of non-profit, film and arts-related organizations. I started slowburn.com in 1995 as my digital playground.

Please take a look at my new Design Gallery for 138 print and web-based examples of my work. I am available for consulting and interesting design projects.
