Scott F. Hall works in luthiery, music, sound, sculpture, video, and still images--he is also known as an archivist of early hybrid jet engines and for his research and experimentation in more esoteric areas such as free energy. Hall’s work in video art has been exhibited worldwide in juried film festivals, events, and on TV. His sound and music, in production since the mid-1980s and featured in numerous juried exhibitions, events, and radio broadcasts, has been released on 31 albums and one vinyl LP record. Hall’s sculpture, sound, video, and still images have been cited in four published books and are included in library, institutional, college, and university collections such as the Kentucky School for the Deaf, Lock Haven University, Casoria Contemporary Art Museum, Naples, Italy, and the Rubell Family Collection.

Hall is best known for handcrafting unique stringed musical instruments and horns. The 3-D printed instruments in particular--produced by MONAD Studio in collaboration with Hall--have been featured in four additional published books, in numerous articles by BBC, Forbes, The Guardian, Classic FM, Architectural Digest, on the Discovery Channel, CNBC, in Miami and Los Angeles galleries, and via Hall’s own live performances, most notably at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. In the summer of 2019, international recording artist Björk acquired one such 3-D printed instrument for live use by a band member on stage in her Cornucopia world tour. 

Hall studied liberal arts, humanities, sciences, and studio art at the University of Hawaii, University of Florida (BFA magna cum laude, 1991), and at Washington University in St. Louis (MFA, 1994). His other honors include induction into the Phi Kappa Phi Academic Honor Society, grant funding for postgraduate sculpture study in Scotland, multiple art exhibition best-of-show and purchase awards, an annually renewed award for sustained excellent creative research in sound and video art (UCF RIA, 2011 through 2020), and two honorary doctorates.

Hall has been employed as a professional musician, co-sculptor of monumental scale theme park commissions, preparator for art museums, freelance 3-D computer animator, and professor. In sum, he has taught more than 20 different art and design courses at undergraduate and graduate levels in over 150 class sections for 25 years. The work of Hall’s students has been cited in another two published books. Hall professed from 1995 to 1997 at Cogswell Polytechnical College, Sunnyvale, California, from 1997 to 2000 at SUNY Alfred, New York, and from the year 2000 onward at the University of Central Florida, where he is currently a tenured associate professor in the School of Visual Arts and Design.
