Verse is proud to present Zach Lieberman's new body of work, featuring video works, print works, and exclusive in-person-only open editioned digital artwork. Lieberman is an artist, researcher, and educator based in New York City.
He creates artwork through writing software and is a co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding and helped co-found the School for Poetic Computation, a school examining the lyrical possibilities of code. He is a professor at MIT Media Lab, where he leads the Future Sketches group.
The series Cone Gradient Study and Color Blinds Study mark a significant milestone, encapsulating seven years of Lieberman's exploration of visual concepts on geometry, animation, gesture, and graphic forms in his daily code sketches.
Light assumes a profound presence within contemporary art, shaping Lieberman’s artistic practice. The works showcased in this exhibition draw particular inspiration from the legacy of Abraham Palatnik, including the Aparelho Cinecromáticos. Embedded within the exploration of the relationships between Lieberman’s work and the art of the past, this show attempts to situate his new works within the wider discourse of media art
"As a child, I loved the patterns you would see through venetian blinds, and this project is based loosely on that sense of wonder – how materials can abstract and transform light", says Lieberman.
