Sam Meech is an artist and videosmith. Born in Huddersfield in 1981, he studied at Liverpool John Moores University (BA Multimedia Arts), and lives and works in the North West. Frequently collaborating with others, Sam explores the role of analogue technologies in a digital landscape, and the potential to fuse the two in production and performance. He is also a co-director of Re-Dock - a not-for-profit arts organisation, developing projects that explore ways in which communities relate to digital media, ideas and public space. He is the founder of and lead artist for the Small Cinema project, and developed the Moston Small Cinema in North Manchester in 2012. He is currently exploring the links between knitting machines and digital imaging, and creating online tools for mapping independent film exhibition ecology.
