Stay tuned for more detailed info, but for now save the date for the show & the opening reception! show: 3/20-26 12:00-20:00, opening: 3/19 18:00-21:00, drawing performance 20:00. Venue is KAIS.

I have been dabbling in coding for my artwork for some time now with programs like Processing, Mathematica, IOGraph, and Scriptographer. Though my programming skills are still just getting off the ground, I have been playing with this stuff on my laptop live in figure drawing sessions and have been getting some really unexpected and exciting results. I just spent a week in NYC going to Spring Studio 3 sessions a day playing with this stuff, see some examples above. The reactions of people in both Tokyo and NYC to me drawing on a laptop in figure drawing have been priceless.
