Peter Williams: Walls, Screens
June 29 to August 18, 2017
Reception Thursday July 13, 2017 at 5:30 pm; Artist Talk at 6:30 pm
Peter Williams is a New Media artist originally from Canada. Specializing in generative and interactive art, he makes tactically unstable works that complicate and hybridize place in physical, digital and augmented situations. Media are elastic and chimerical, more and more resembling us. Through his art, Williams struggles with this recursion. His works have been presented in Asia, Canada, Europe, the U.K. and USA at venues such as the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), The Lumen Prize Exhibition, SIGGRAPH Asia and the Association of Computing Machinery Conference on Human Computer Interaction (ACM SIGCHI). He is currently Assistant Professor of New Media Art at California State University, Sacramento.
