Synopsis

Within the visual arts, software is a misunderstood medium. It's equally attacked by some and championed by others, but it remains an enigma to most. Certainly, software is the dominant tool for design and production, but it can be more – it can lead to new ways of thinking and making. Casey Reas has written custom software for over a decade to explore visual systems and emergent form. In this presentation, a hybrid of a screening and a lecture, he'll share his most recent work as well as examples from the past.
