In Joseph S. Santarromana's Untitled, 1998, Ilfochrome lightjet prints digitally incorporate photographic images, images downloaded from the Web, and digitally rendered forms, to create strikingly beautiful and ambiguous imagery. Santarromana, working more instinctively than theoretically, nevertheless creates images which suggest certain sensitivity to the play of difference. His work touches upon the private/public split inherent to the Internet.

Joseph Santarromana received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts School of Film and Video in 1992. He holds a BFA from Otis Parsons School of Design, Department of Fine Arts.

Santarromana's work has been shown at NewSpace, Los Angeles, CA; Sweeney Art Gallery, University of California, Riverside; Japanese American Cultural Center, Los Angeles, CA; Ubermain Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Huntington Beach Art Center, Huntington Beach, CA; Plug-In Gallery, Winnipeg, Canada; and at Hohenthal and Bergen, Cologne, Germany.
