Chris Hill is a media curator and educator, and has been on the Media Arts faculty at Antioch College since 1997. Her recent curatorial work examines documentary media on prison in the U.S. over the past three decades including the survey /Habeas Corpus: You Have the Body/. She is currently working on an episodic documentary (Sweetness and Labor) that uses beekeeping to explore communication strategies. She has written about Barbara Lattanzi's new media projects that appropriate the editing strategies of 1970s experimental films, and in 2001 organized Living Archives, an international symposium in Prague featuring artists working with media archives and related issues. She curated the 17-hour series Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and Alternative Media in the U.S. (1968-1980) for the Video Data Bank (1996), and developed Walking Trips in Czech Lands, a bilingual website (1997) featuring interviews with Czech media artists and cultural workers about parallel culture in the late 80s/early 90s.
