Computation as Artistic Practice
1:00 – 2:00 PM · Room 1201 · Zach Lieberman · Cap: up to 50
In this talk and master class, Zach Lieberman shares insights from his artistic practice, focusing on a decades-long engagement with data visualization — exploring data as a material for artistic play. The conversation delves into investigations with augmented reality and new tools for drawing, coding, and interactive expression. He also explores how daily sketching, a practice maintained for ten years, has become its own kind of dataset — a record of creative practice that has transformed his relationship with making.
