[Bio c. 2009]
Roderick Coover creates documentary films, interactive environments, and multimedia installations. In Unknown Territories Series (Unknownterritories.org) users navigate virtual representations of the Colorado River basin in the western United States following paths laid out my explorers, photographers and writers. Works such as Something That Happened Only Once, Vacation Series, and Outside/Inside investigate questions of continuity, storytelling and the expression of the sense of place. These works employ panoramic techniques. Works such as the CD-ROM, Cultures In Webs: Working In Hypermedia With The Documentary Image (Eastgate), the DVD From Verite To Virtual: Conversations on the Frontier of Film and Anthropology (Documentary Educational Resources) and the forthcoming book Switching Codes (Chicago) examine relationships between visual practices and scholarly research practices. His other films include The Theory of Time Here (Video Data Bank) and The Language Of Wine: An ethnography of work, wine and the senses, which explores how the words of an occupation -- wine making in Burgundy -- shape the metaphors lives are lived by. Coover exhibits his work internationally and has published in journals such as Ethnographiques, Visual Studies, Visual Anthropology, Film International and Film Quarterly, among others. Coover is an associate professor at Temple University.
