Code & Canvas: Reimaging Art in the Digital Age with Brent Watanabe
Join us on Friday, October 3, for an evening with artist and creative coder Brent Watanabe.
This installment of MacDowell Downtown will take place at The Peterborough Town Library.
Brent Watanabe will present a selection of his innovative projects fusing traditional art forms—such as drawing or sculpture—with emerging technologies like video game engines and servo-control systems. He will preview an upcoming site-specific museum installation, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the project he is developing during his MacDowell residency.
Watanabe works in a boundary-blurring artistic field that merges contemporary art with digital culture—one that can be shaped by creative artists despite the underlying algorithms. A four-time MacDowell Fellow, Brent has returned from his home base in Seattle to the woods of New Hampshire, continuing his exploration of the physical and digital, the handmade and the virtual.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with an artist whose practice is redefining what it means to make art in the 21st century—right here in Downtown Peterborough.
Free and open to all (Advance registration encouraged)
