Susan Agliata earned a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College in May 2004. During her studies she concentrated in the Moving Picture Arts, including experimental film/multimedia installation, and curatorial studies, experimenting with diverse forms of the moving image in both physical and virtual space. In 2003 Agliata attended the International School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam concentrating in film/video installation and curatorial studies. In 2004, upon return to Sarah Lawrence, these studies culminated in an in-depth study of the definitions and methodology of “Expanded Cinema” as well as a study of “Hypertext and Hypermedia Theory.” Weaving together literature, history and personal journeys her films and web-based projects are multi-layered non-linear journeys through other places, both mental, physical and temporal. In her work, Agliata explores the concepts of cultural assimilation, the complexity of emotions in regards to familial experience and obligation, and the conflicts between consciousness and physical being. http://www.susanagliata.com.
