About Reza
Reza is a new media artist and researcher. His work and research is centered around computational design, user interfaces, software studios, and wearables (hardware + software + form). As an artist, he uses technology (code, form and electronics) to express himself. His works manifest themselves as either visual art, spatial sculptures, and interactive installations. Reza is interested in the ideas and implications of his works, tools, and way of working. As a researcher, Reza is passionate about solving complex problems by creating new technologies and open sourcing them to allows others to build on his work and build the future. As an artist and researcher he is deeply interested in the feedback cycle that occurs when customs tools are written to accomplish an artwork, and how those tools can enable artworks to go beyond what the artist had originally envisioned. He hopes to change the world by making a difference in how people use technology, design products and experience new media art and entertainment.
About the Series:
Title: FluidScapes Prints
Medium: Gloss Finished Aluminum Metal Prints Coated with Polyester
About: FluidScapes are about making the invisible visible and the interplay of two generative systems. These images are snapshots in time of a simulated fluid field affecting the height of a generative terrain made from particles and springs. Custom software was used to simulate and visualize the generative systems interplay with each other in real-time. In this exhibition the FluidScapes have been rendered as prints, but they exist as digital files which can be 3D printed or CNC machined into FluidScape Sculptures.
