Philip Mallory Jones has long played an important role in the media arts field. Jones synthesizes what he terms the "realities of African culture and my own emotional and metaphysical odyssey." He writes: "My work has always considered the screen as a canvas, rather than a window, and explored ways of telling stories through emotional/sensorial experience. I am seeking, in my research, a synthesis of African and diaspora sensibilities and my artmaking, to transpose this synthesis to electronic media art."
