I want to people feel wonder and hope. I want people to be bewildered by the unknown as though they are before a mysterious oracle.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Video installation. Living generative art. As an artistic coder from an art family I create "brushes of the mind," teaching to computer to draw Live in unexpected yet very human ways (Not using AI). Using thousands of random numbers I insure the art always surprises and never repeats and imprints with my artistic choices. This is the oracular, I-Ching like core of what I do. What the viewer sees belongs to them, message received, and then it's gone—highlighting the ephemeral nature of life.
Where do you find inspiration?First, in Nature. Then, in the expressions of the human and animal faces. Then, in the beauty of geometry and mathematics.
What would you do with $25,000?Pay rent for my studio. Buy a new computer and projector. Take the family out for a nice celebratory dinner. Maybe buy a new 12-string guitar.
