Art with an Expert – featuring “Run the Code” artist Camille Utterback

Artist Camille Utterback will share a behind-the-scenes look at how she creates interactive installations like her Untitled 5 artwork in Run the Code, which generates painterly imagery in real time based on human movement and gesture. Camille will discuss how she became interested in writing software to create her work and how her practice has evolved over the close to 30 years that she has been creating code-based art. What can we learn about ourselves as humans through engaging with digitally coded systems? How can artists embrace contemporary digital tools, and still ground their work in the material richness that surrounds us? Come hear how one artist grapples with these themes. Organized by Hannah Klemm. Art With an Expert is organized by the Blanton Museum of Art. Support for this program at the Blanton is provided by the Carolyn Harris Hynson Centennial Endowment.
