He is an adjunct faculty member of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in interactive art and sound art. Meza's work has shown nationally and internationally. Recent projects include The Burning Question at Katherine Nash Gallery (MN), karta/terräng in Malmö Sweden, and Project Emergencia with Alfredo Jaar. Abinadi Meza will present The Prisoner, his latest animation with sound. The footage is appropriated from the 1927 silent film La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc by Carl Dreyer and is re-rendered as an animation. The content revolves around Jeanne's political status as a prisoner and her torture at the hands of interrogators and prison guards. She is utterly alone and a subject to the power and authority of her captors. Throughout the animation she is an individual; her judges express and assume power as a group.
