Celebrating a Decade of Culture and Innovation in San Francisco
Golan Levin is a Pittsburgh-based artist and educator, active professionally in software art since 1995. His work explores new intersections of computation, critical making, and visual culture in order to highlight our relationship with machines, expand the vocabulary of human action, and awaken participants to their potential as creative actors. Golan is presently Professor of Electronic Art at Carnegie Mellon University, where he also holds courtesy appointments in Architecture, Computer Science, and Design. His pedagogy is concerned with reclaiming computation as a medium of personal expression, through exploratory research in interactive art, generative form, information visualization, and machine intelligence. With Tega Brain, Levin is co-author of "Code as Creative Medium" (MIT Press, 2021), a guide to creative coding for software arts educators.
