Gregory Vines has taught classes in the Visual Communication Institute HGK FHNW in Time Based Media and Imagery. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1953 like many other children in the USA he started a series of drawings directly on the TV screen (Winky Dink and You Show). His first 8mm film was made for the experimental design class taught by Muriel Cooper at the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston. He received his BFA in 1968 and went on to work for publishing companies in Boston. In the early 70s he studied in the Advanced Class for Graphic Design at the then Kunstgewerbeschule Basel and began teaching in 1976 in the KGS and beginning in 1978 in the class for “Animation Graphics/Film+Design”. He was a part of the faculty that started the first HFG program in Basel and was head of the Advanced Class for Graphic Design between 1988 and 1990.
