Baker Artist Portfolios

Danielle d’Amico is a multimedia artist working with video, installation, virtual and augmented realities. She received her B.S. in Film, Video & Theatre from Stevenson University in 2014 and her MFA from University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2021. Danielle's work has been featured in various screenings and exhibitions. Some notable exhibitions include the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Paris, France (2023), the Spacetime Catalyst Film Screening in Miami, FL (2022) and the PostSensorium RIXC Art Science Festival based in Riga, Latvia (2021). Her work has also been showcased in galleries and venues in Baltimore, such as Gallery CA, Gormley Gallery, and UMBC’s Center for Art, Design & Visual Culture. Her immersive projection installation ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting', was awarded the Johns Hopkins Saul Zaentz Innovation Grant in 2019. 

Danielle has worked on various projects as a director, editor, and videographer. Since 2020, she has held adjunct teaching positions at UMBC, Towson University and Johns Hopkins University. For the past two years, Danielle has worked as a studio manager and editor for the video production company, Hartlove-Goodyear. 

She views the world and her artwork through a queer ecological perspective, which sees humans as integrated with the natural world and its systems - systems that are forever changing as the result of social and historical influences. Formally and thematically, her work focuses on the intimate overlaps between this beyond human world, humans and the technological realm. 

Since 2019, Danielle has been creating virtual reality experiences that meditate on virtual reality (VR) pornography, problematize the concept of embodiment, and subversively interrogate the gaze in VR. In her multichannel projection installations, The Sky is Coming (2021) and What to Expect When You’re Expecting (2019), she focuses on multiple, layered perspectives and perceptions through form and content. 

Danielle currently lives in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore City with her spouse and stepdog.
