    Cole Weaver: capstone
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Weaver, Cole, artist
    The artist's statement: As a new media artist, I explore the intersection of and interaction between the digital and physical world through video projection and computer processing. The bulk of my work results from the process of investigation and iteration, whether of a material or concept. The variety of practices introduced to me at CSU and the amount of experimentation afforded to me by my instructors has led me to embrace my aptitude for digital tools and integrate those skills into "traditional" mediums like sculpture, photography, and printmaking. This experience has led to a keen interest in collaboration as a medium for dialogue, resulting in collaborative projects that not only deepen my understanding of materials and methods but also foster a creative exchange that challenge my own assumptions and pushes the evolution of my practice. Project Fractile is a minimalist grid-based strategy card game designed around a revolving ruleset. The initial idea was inspired by generative art where form and structure is determined by a set of instructions and constraints enacted by the artist. In this game, players take turns constructing a maze-like structure, one tile at a time. Placement of tiles is dictated by a set of rules that restrict and mandate certain attributes of the tiles played. Each turn, one rule in play is replaced by another, creating a constantly shifting state of play that informs and challenges player agency.
