Ron Hutt is a founding member of the University of Rhode Island's 3-D Group for Interactive Visualization which focuses on research, development, teaching, and cross-disciplinary application of 3-D modeling, animation and interactivity. He is active as an artist, and teacher in the area of new media and traditional media arts.

"My scholarly and creative activity is based on an analysis of the relationships between technology, art, and society with a focus on deterministic trends, power relationships, and media representations. Making art with digital information technologies immerses one immediately in the alternating cultural currents of promise and hype where utopian and distopian world-views merge, transform and split yet again. Who is creating the myths of our future, how does technology lead to human enhancement or human oppression, are a few of the questions I engage in my creative process. I work with digital image manipulation, digital photography, 2D and 3D animation, 3D modeling, interactive web based Net Art (http://www.ronhutt.org) and photo-silk screen processes."

Hutt holds an MFA in Art and Technology from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has taught at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College in Chicago, the University of Maine at Farmington, Maine and Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He is currently an Assistant Professor in URI's Art Department, where he teaches courses in Digital Art and Design.
