Franklin Gilliam’s combined experiences as an artist, educator, and strategic designer have led to a unique career prototyping the future of art, technology, and networked innovation. Gilliam’s creative practice is research-based and multidisciplinary. It has taken the form of film/video art, installation, game events, and illustrated lectures. Gilliam’s approach destabilizes categories of identity, temporality, and genre through the wry juxtaposition of new and obsolete technologies. Gilliam’s projects have been screened and presented widely, including at the 1997 Whitney Biennial (Sapphire and the Slave Girl), Thread Waxing Space Gallery (Apeshit v3),the New Museum (Agenda for a Landscape), the London Film Festival (Now Pretend), New York University Game Center’s “No Quarter,” (Lesberation), the Center for Afrofuturist Studies (Open Call for Luthers) and The Kitchen’s “CodeSwitch: Distributing Blackness, Reprogramming Internet Art” (Race Card/Rage Card). Gilliam holds a master’s degree in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University, an MFA in Film from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and a BA in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University. Gilliam is the Senior Strategy and Design Officer at Lambent Foundation, a strategic adviser to the Sam Gilliam Foundation, and a former board member at Out in Tech. In 2026, Gilliam’s work will appear in Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings, organized by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
