Art Meets Technology + Transhumanism with Luke Gilford | AD 8
Luke Gilford is a photographer and filmmaker from Santa Cruz, CA and currently based in Venice Beach. \xa0Luke graduated from UCLA in 2008 and since then, his photography and films have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world - including MoMA in New York City and FOAM in Amsterdam.
It was a 4 year long photography project documenting his friend's gender transition that inspired Luke to start telling stories with films. \xa0Luke's first film project was directing David Lynch for a dreamlike short for Dom Perignon. \xa0Soon after, Luke directed\xa0The Future of Flesh,\xa0a short featuring Prada's Spring 2014 Spring collection, which included Jane Fonda in its voice over. \xa0The project received critical acclaim and led Luke to develop his ideas further, writing and directing his first narrative film,\xa0Connected, starring Pamela Anderson and Dree Hemingway (and again featuring Jane Fonda). \xa0
Luke's work has been published in\xa0The New York Times, Dazed & Confused, V Magazine,\xa0and\xa0GQ Style.\xa0
