Biography
Initially a painter during the 1950s and 60s, Bill Creston discovered video as an inexpensive way to make sound films, pioneering that medium in 1969, and initiating programs at Cooper Union and The School of Visual Arts. In 1976, he began working in Super-8 sound film, and operating the only full-service Super-8 sound studio in NYC throughout the 90s. By 2003, nine of his narrative and collaged films had been shown at The Museum of Modern Art, twelve at Anthology Film Archives. Currently, Creston is co-director of eMediaLoft.org, which helps artists realize their projects, particularly in video. He has resumed painting while he explores digital technology.
