Marc Tasman is an Intermedia artist who works in photography, video, performance, and networked media. He may be most well-known for his photographic endurance project which he concluded in 2009. Here he made a Polaroid self-portrait every day for ten years and one day–3,654 consecutive days. In 2010 he exhibited the nearly 5,000 photographs at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art for the Wisconsin Triennial. This work is also featured in the book, Reframing Photography: Theory and Practice, published by Routledge Press. In 2007 his video “Who is Stealing My Signs?” was selected for the Ann Arbor Film Festival. In 2006 Tasman was awarded a Mary L. Nohl Fellowship for Individual Artists.
Tasman received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and Photography in 1995 from the University of Louisville and received his Master of Fine Arts in Photography in 2000 from The Ohio State University. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Journalism, Advertising, and Media Studies and coordinates the Digital Arts and Culture Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
