ABOUT THE ARTIST
Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal is known internationally for provoking dialogue about international politics through high profile, technologically-driven projects that employ the use of robotics, the internet, and photographic mobile mapping. His work explores tensions between the cultural spaces he occupies—his home in the “comfort zone” of the U.S. and his consciousness in the “conflict zone” of Iraq.
