[June 02 – 14]
David Bowen is a studio artist and educator whose work has been featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions nationally and internationally. Bowen’s work consists of interactive, reactive and generative processes that emerge from intersections between natural and mechanical systems. He is currently an Associate Professor of Sculpture and Physical Computing at the University of Minnesota.
At the conference, he will produce a work that utilizes data obtained from this unique landscape and geographic location. Some examples of this include scanning the dynamic surface of the water, capturing the physical movements of objects caused by the wind or logging fluctuations in temperature and light conditions. This collected data will manifest itself in a physical sculptural object that will move, adapt to or emulate the natural phenomena observed.
