Biography

Dennis is a U.S. based artist and designer. With an insatiable desire to consider technology and its place in the arts, he came early to video. Hlynsky brings over thirty years of experience with video. Since 1983 has he committed himself to the study of digital processes. A skilled 3D artist, his most recent work was cited by the Black Maria Film Festival. Dennis was among the first students of the RISD video program and is a devoted teacher.

He was a co-founder of Electron Movers, a regional media center and performance space. Dennis was a principal in the Videoanalysis project and for ten years used video as an intervention with life threatened people. The project garnered attention of international media. His interest in celebration as an art form resulted in his designing the firework celebration for Providence for five years and has been central to several twenty year long community art events. Most recently, Dennis (and Daniel Peltz) designed The Lepton, a true-non-linear editor for social web based media.
