rdf:langString Barbara Ann Rosenthal (born 1948) is an American avant-garde artist, writer and performer. Her existential themes have contributed to contemporary art and philosophy. Her pseudonyms include "Homo Futurus," taken from the title of one of her books and "Cassandra-on-the-Hudson," which alludes to "the dangerous world she envisions" while creating art in her studio and residence, located since 1998 on the Hudson River in Greenwich Village, NYC. She successfully trademarked "Homo Futurus" in 2022. Rosenthal is an idiosyncratic and prolific conceptual artist. She is known for often revisiting past works, recombining old elements with new. Her archives have been accepted by Queens College. Her creative process may include the use of x-rays, brain scans and clothing. Sometimes, she utilizes physical or textual elements from her journals. As an artist within the fields of surrealism and existentialism, she is known for her intense introspection, and by using herself "as a guinea pig", exploring what it means to be human. As an artist, Rosenthal is known as an Old Master of New Media because of her long history in media, including photography, video, performance, projection installation, interactive, electronic and digital media, text, collage, prints, artists' books and objects. Almost all her works are produced in editions. Most combine camera, text, and performative aspects. Elements of Rosenthal's previous body of work, "Surreal Photography" are often present.
