Matthew Spiegelberg was a gifted painter and musician. At the heart of Spiegelberg’s work was the gulf between two modes of expression: the long history of painting and and the digital images of our everyday lives. His work attempted to make the two meet.
Janos Stone (American, 1975-) is an inventor and new/mixed media artist based in New York City. His practice blends digital technology (digital video, fabrication, video games, computer programs/code, etc.) with the formal traditions of sculpture.
