Visit me at 300 Summer, in the heart of Boston’s historic Fort Point neighborhood for art, 3d printed cities, and wine!
Let three artists show you how you can navigate the myriad online sources of geographic and oceanographic data.
Looking at movements in human and art history helps us understand how both generative art and computational physics relate to technology and society. This talk makes these connections. Slides here
Join me and friends Ben Bray and Jeffrey Heyne for a show all about *places*, or maps, or travel photography, or data, or all of the above. Opening on Friday, April 7 @ 6pm.
While divergent in concept and media, the three artists, Joseph Moore, Mark Stock, and Lara Loutrel seem to share sides of the same coin—the obverse, the reverse, and the edge.
BRAID was chosen as one of the second series of hour-long videos displayed on the 35-foot video wall at The Exchange, and will played until 2022.

Jim Susinno and I are resurrecting Everything is Made of Atoms, an interactive video work that we originally created over five years ago, at the upcoming new media art show at Boston Cyberarts Gallery. Also showing work are Carla Gannis, Danny Brown Gonzalez, Andra, Lani Asuncion, Endam Nihan, Joy Buolamwini, and Cierra Michele Peters.
Closing Reception: Saturday June 22nd, 6-8pm
The BCEC is excited to present this exhibition featuring artists who work just down the street in Fort Point. The artists in this exhibition do not shy away from color or scale, providing a full spectrum of vibrant imagery and textures that the viewer can engage with, both from afar and up close. Opening reception on April 22.
The artists in this exhibition grapple in various ways with the concept of the unforeseen or uncanny occurrence by combining diverse materials, sources and algorithms to generate images, objects and videos where the whole is greater than the contributing elements.
Closing reception and artists talks: Friday, June 14, 5-8pm
The University of Massachusetts Lowell Department of Art & Design is honored to announce that it will host the 16 th edition of the 404 International Festival of Art & Technology in 2019. The 404 International Festival of Art & Technology unites art with technology in an environment where artists can engage with community. The organizers are working to make artists and artwork accessible to the public in a variety of ways, including inviting classes from local schools to tour the exhibit and meet the artists. Works featured include a robot that reads the Twitter feed, a virtual reality tour of a unique Chinese monastery, electronic music compositions, a video mirror, and computationally created images.
Featured artists include curator & founder Gina Valenti, Alejandro Burdisio, Caitlin & Misha, Ramón Castillo, Jean-Philippe Côté, Matt Kenyon, Hyun Ju Kim, Anne Lilly, Lin Pey Chwen, Hye Yeon Nam, Jessica Rosenkrantz, Wenhua Shi, Mark J. Stock, and Jeffu Warmouth.
The value of good design, demonstrated in an exhibition through parallel questioning in a world where humans achieve enhanced abilities through technology, algorithm and machine learning, where co-existing with robots is a reality.
TinyMtn, another project by Mark Stock, was asked to produce 3D printed models of mountains for the exhibition. On display are: Mt. Everest, K2, Denali, Mont Blanc, and The Matterhorn.
We often describe the Boston Cyberarts Gallery as an exhibition space for those who regard code as their creative medium. And while that is mostly true throughout the year, this exhibition, Data Flow, is all about the code. However while for these artists, much of the initial expressive input is done with algorithms, the final product varies greatly. From visualizations culled from scientific data and complex algorithms for visualizing fluid dynamics to a custom program resulting in a playful interactive installation, all of the artists in this exhibition have developed creative systems for processing information that are simultaneously illuminating and emotive.
Come see three works from my "Immaculate Collision" series on display at Boston Cyberarts Gallery, along with pieces from Karl Sims, Nervous System, Nathalie Miebach, and Dennis Miller.
Artists work at a variety of scales, from minuscule to beyond measure, defying scale entirely. xsXL exhibits 2D and 3D works that are extra small (XS, or less than 10") with out-sized content and extra large (XL, or more than 36") works that overwhelm the gallery while still being contained by it. The goal is to find correlation or dialogue between the various works regardless of scale, while offering an opportunity to feature the range of recent art created by the members of the Fort Point Arts Community.
Come see my 3d-printed "Medium Spherical Dendrite" and EPS foam carved "Chaotic Escape (m95)".
Reception is May 10, 5:30-8:30pm.
Simulacrum, curated by Jeremy J. Starn, explores a reality exclusively built upon representations of programmed life that is no longer distinguishable from the innate. The included artists use maps, sounds, renderings, projections, algorithms, and images to grapple with how digital representation precedes any relationship with physical reality.
This is a new existence in which time and space have been redefined by evolving technologies. Being present now may seem insufficient for an understanding of the world when we can alter, circumvent, or recreate it to fit our needs.
Is Simulacrum a reflection of our reality? Does it mask or pervert it or simply create a new one? These artists address the concept of the simulation in lieu of its interaction with our notion of the real and the original. What is forged or represented are not likenesses of static entities, but instead the processes of feeling and experiencing themselves.
Opening reception: March 16, 7-10pm
In such a time of great uncertainty there is a growing feeling of unease; we reside in the spaces between a world of absolutes. The collection of work in Gray Area addresses a range of situations not readily conforming to an existing set of rules. As the color gray encompasses a multitude of mutable tonalities, both coloristically and metaphorically, the show will offer some creative clarity.
Opening Reception: February 2, 2018, 5:00-8:00 pm
Come visit me in Jackson, Wyoming this November, where I will be the Artist-in-Residence at Teton Artlab.
I'll be open Friday through Sunday for the Somerville-wide open studios event. Please stop by to see new work or just hang out and chat.
One of my 3D printed works will be in downtown Boston at The Gallery At Atlantic Wharf this April-June. Opening reception is Wednesday, May 24, 6-8pm.
Come see recent Virtual Reality artwork at this national technical conference. My Smoke Water Fire 3D-360 video will be on display.
This exhibition will feature art created through the use of a 3D printer. The works were juried by Joshua Harker, a recognized 3D printing artist and innovator.
Two of my works (Dynamo and Green Streamlines) will appear in a group show at Gallery Seven in Maynard, MA. The opening reception is Saturday, Dec. 3, from 6-8pm.
Come visit my studio in the Joy Street building the weekend before Thanksgiving and see what I've been working on this year. New works include: prints laminated in glass, large foam sculptures, data-driven landscape prints, and 3D prints of islands and mountains. Pictured is a scale model of Nantucket printed in SLS Nylon.
Several works will appear in the visualization arts program at this conference hosted by the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers in Baltomore.
Come see my short talk "3D Printing Algorithmic Objects" at Artisan's Asylum, one of the nation's largest maker spaces, this Monday in Somerville, MA.
Science of the Unseen: Digital Art Perspectives is an exhibition of the Digital Arts Community of ACM SIGGRAPH. Three of my works will be part of the exhibition: Chaotic Escape #1 and #2, and MESO. MESO is a new video and real-time work that shows, over the course of 14 hours, images all of the land in North America, in pure data. Instead of showing anything recognizable as landscape, MESO cycles through digital elevation models (DEMs), images for which each pixel represents the elevation of one quarter-acre of bare land.

13FOREST Gallery is pleased to present Emerge, an exhibition featuring work by contemporary artists Dena Bach, Christopher Frost, Raúl Gonzalez III, Nancy Popper, Michael Seif and Mark J. Stock. Emerge seeks to explore the changing identities, thoughts and forms that take shape in an unpredictable world.
Through various media, Emerge presents the work of six artists and their unique interpretations on the theme of transformation—be it mythical, cultural, intellectual or physical. Inspired by the Japanese legend of "kitsune," foxes of exceptional intelligence that could shape-shift into human forms, Emerge is a meditation on metamorphoses in settings both commonplace and supernatural.
While Emerge considers dualities such as environmental versus human manipulation of materials, it also investigates more nuanced spectra of private and public personas, and form and formlessness. This exhibition is dedicated to unity with an eye toward truths that remain hidden and others that emerge.
Opening reception May 21, 4-6pm
My first machine-assisted (as opposed to 3D-printed) sculpture, Chaotic Escape (m70), will be on display in a show called Grounded at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts, in May and June.
At Creative Tech Week in New York in May, I'll be giving a talk entitled Supercomputing Art.
In this short talk, you will gain an understanding of how scientists use supercomputers to simulate natural phenomena, learn how those methods are related to generative artwork, and see examples of those techniques manifest in my print, video, interactive, 3d printing, and sculpture work.
Creative Tech week runs April 29 to May 8, 2016 at multiple locations in New York City. Consult the schedule for more information.
Stop by my work space at 86 Joy Street, Studio 40, between noon and 6pm on Saturday or Sunday to see my most recent work, enjoy some wine, and sit and chat about anything.
