CASEY REAS

After twenty-eight years of drawing, playing video games, drumming, and designing information systems, Reas' nascent talent for writing software forged these disparate interests into a new direction while a graduate student and researcher at MIT. Reas currently teaches in the Design | Media Arts department at UCLA. His classes provide a foundation for thinking about computers as a medium for artistic exploration and set a structure for advanced inquiry into culture, technology, and aesthetics. As an artist, Reas employs ideas explored in conceptual and minimal artworks as focused through the contemporary lens of software. With Ben Fry, Reas creates Processing, a programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and sound.
