The Living Canvas is an American performance art and photography project[1] that uses lighting, sound, and multimedia imagery,[2]displaying video or photographic projections onto nude performers.[3][4]
Founded by Pete Guither,[5][6]also the founder/creator of the activist blog DrugWarRant, he's recently endowed the Theatrical Experimentation Fund at Illinois State University.[7] "So how did I start? A dark basement. Myself as the model. Simple equipment including a film camera on a tripod with no timer and only a short shutter release."[8]
The performance project currently acts as both a Pick Up Performance Company[9]as well as a consulting entity through Guither.[10][6]
