Neil Salley is a multidisciplinary artist and inventor working at the intersection of interactive multimedia installation and experience fiction.

 

Through found and created objects, animatronics, interactive video, kinetic sculpture, sound art, architecture and his own patented form of holography Neil creates immersive and playful multi-media stories that explore the shifty and pliable relationships between history, fiction and perception through the lens of pataphysics.

 

Neil began developing Musée Patamécanique as a graduate student at Rhode Island School as design. Since opening in 2006 (vulg.) the museum has served as a development and fabrication studio and the medium for his  immersive multi-environment, multi-media performances.

 

His limited edition books, sound art pieces, video installations and interactive electronic inventions have been shown and collected nationally and internationally including; The International Festival of Arts and Technology in Xi’an China, The London Institute of Pataphysics, The DeCordova Museum, Rhode Island School of Design museum, AS220 and The Rhode Island Foundation. He has received grants from The LEF Foundation and Rhode Island State Council on The Arts.
