ARTISTS
The collaborative projects in this experiment were each initiated and coordinated by five Techspressionist artists: Victor Acevedo, Lucy Boyd-Wilson, Randi Matushevitz, Cynthia Beth Rubin, and Annette Weintraub.
VICTOR ACEVEDO
Acevedo is considered a desktop digital art pioneer. His first experiments with computer graphics began in 1983. His hybrid imagery has a metaphysical bent; expressed with geometrical abstraction, often with figuration. His video work explores the implications of synesthesia, cymatics, and the geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller’s Synergetics. His Electronic Visual Music (EVM) compositions are usually paired with experimental music. He studied at ArtCenter College of Design. He was an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts NYC, 1997-2008. His work is included in the Patric Prince Computer Art Collection housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

LUCY BOYD-WILSON
Lucy Boyd-Wilson is a digital artist and technologist living in San Diego. She received a BA and MSc in Mathematics and Computer Science at McGill University in Montreal and studied Fine Arts at Concordia University. Following a long career as an animation and video-game programmer since the 80’s, she is now a solo artist. She explores interactive and immersive technologies such as virtual reality, dome display and Kinect tracking devices. Immersion is an important element of her art. She creates “Worlds in Motion” and places the viewer at the center, to evoke a connection with the natural world to which we belong.

CYNTHIA BETH RUBIN
Cynthia Beth Rubin is a Techspressionist artist who transitioned to digital imaging in the early 1980s.
