Joe Hiscott is a renegade artist and filmmaker who has been producing internationally acclaimed works since 1999.  From documenting a blind nomad across India, to farming in Brazil, to filming and performing in front of stock exchanges around the world, Joe's unusual experiences have contributed greatly to his exhaustive observations of the 'global mind'.  He is steward of both land and art; cultivating, directing, exposing. This ontological warrior uses his varied lenses of perception to question and dissect the stock answers that inhibit curiosity.

How does our definition of 'freedom' change as we become more complacent?  What ramifications will lifestyles motivated by fear have on the creativity of future generations?  As our modes of communication become more and more filtered through devices, how will it change what gets communicated? 

His inquiries are as diverse as the form his work takes, manifesting in a 'sci-non-fi' approach. In the short film Business As Usual (2005) he questions the threatening prevalence of global economic markets as the new world culture through an identity-less businessman icon.  Death Poem (2001) reveals the inevitability of death through imagery from the funeral pyres of India combined with child-like, sarcastic rhyming poetry. The video/performance installation, Un Drap (2003), mixes virtuality, reality and interpretation of invisible happenings to suggest a connection between the macro and micro landscapes of the human body, the natural and animal kingdoms as well as the known and unknown universes.

His work has been featured at Film, Video, Media Arts, Performance Art, and Digital/Electronic Arts Festivals around the world, namely Kurtzfilmtage Oberhausen, VIPER Film, Video and New Media Festival in Basel and Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax.
