Casual Computing:
work by Evan Roth


On View January 23, 2013 – May 10, 2013
Artist Lecture- April 5, 2013, 6:15 PM
"Level Cleared" by Evan Roth
Casual Computing, a selection of new and existing works by Evan Roth (B.S. Arch '00) highlights a changing and empowering approach towards technology as it becomes more commonplace. With pieces including prints, sculptures, videos and websites, the work is defined less by medium and genre than by its appropriation of popular culture. Whether realized online, in the studio, in the city or at the airport, Roth questions the sacred nature of technology and experiments with showing it creative disrespect. Roth is fascinated with the misuse of seemingly rigid systems, and the effect that philosophies from hacker communities can have when applied outside of computer screens. His work demonstrates how small shifts in representation can enable us to see our environment with new eyes and visualize transient moments in public space, online and in popular culture.
