Brinkley’s art has been shown on three continents, and in the words of art critique Martin Patrick, “Brinkley’s work is playful yet serious, controversial yet diplomatic. He showcases complex thinking, an expansive information knowledge base and an obsession with the processes of learning or gaining knowledge. The currency of his oeuvre centers on socially-oriented collective engagement across a series of new media platforms and the associate experiences these generate, typically providing opportunities for participants to take part in communal narratives. Brinkley’s focus is on the power of ideas. The works are in effect propositions to be realized by the audience and their commitment/willingness to participate. All of his works seem to evolve or devolve into bold gestures of vast generosity — each work serving as a reminder to act upon our own imaginative impulses and take charge of our own destiny.”
 
Brinkley began his career by becoming the youngest producer ever hired by CNN at age 16, and went on to work with Discovery Communications, Clear Channel Communications, Morris Communications, and Cabin Creek Films. He has an MFA in Experience Design, a Masters in Journalism & Advertising, a BA in Mass Communications, and is a graduate of Singularity University at NASA Ames.
