Others expand art to include the conceptual, like performance art and social experiments. And for most, art is perceived as antithetical to STEM. The dichotomy of liberal arts and STEM fields is often framed as being antagonistic—both general camps are purported to be contemptuous towards the other. I gravitate towards the intersection between these two seemingly dissonant subjects. From constructing a functional Gameboy with 3d designed and printed parts to coding a meticulously designed website, I find that the two are not mutually exclusive. A soldering iron becomes a pen, melting metal the way I crosshatch a shadow. When coding a website, I consider the colors, the shapes, and the form. I believe traditional art techniques and styles can—and should—be applied to digital media. I experiment with this interaction in most of my work, including the graphic design pieces submitted to this show. The relationship between modernity and tradition, often wrought with tension, is one that can be pushed, pulled, and transformed. My art is all things I impart on space with intentionality. Whether this is digital, physical, or conceptual, I take my time with each creation and release it, carving out a space in this world for the art I wish to share.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
