Saturday September 28, 10am – 4pm
WFG Media Lab, 3rd floor, 100 Arthur Street
In this workshop we will explore using math as a medium for visual art. We will first build a toolbox of simple mathematical concepts and then combine them in novel ways to create a complex result. I think that math is one of the most elegant and underrated tools in contemporary art and it applies to many disciplines like computer graphics, film making and game development. No previous experience is required to participate in this workshop!
Juca Aquino is a Brazilian-Canadian artist currently studying at the University of Manitoba. Juca’s artistic practice is informed by Brazilian art and architecture like the Copacabana boardwalk, Ibirapuera Park and the skyscrapers on Paulista avenue. He first became interested in screenprinting when he saw Takashi Murakami’s maximalist murals at a retrospective in the Vancouver Art Gallery. Juca became fascinated with using code as a tool for creating visual art when he noticed that unintended results caused by bugs in the code are often more compelling than the intended results. Juca has done volunteering work for the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Plug In ICA and Art City.
