(art)n Laboratory
As an Artist-in-Residence at (art)n Laboratory, I aided with the production of complex 3D artworks utilizing proprietary PHSCologram and ImmersaGram technologies. Bridging the gap between digital modeling and physical output, I utilized advanced 3D animation and rendering techniques to manifest scientific and conceptual data into tangible, multi-dimensional forms. Beyond the studio, I acted as a technical lead for the laboratory's infrastructure, architecting a searchable image-database and managing the administration of network systems and web servers to support their pioneering digital archive.
In my capacity as a Curator and collaborator, I facilitated the intersection of fine art and immersive technology, working alongside esteemed artists such as Ellen Sandor, Karl Wirsum, and Ed Paschke. A highlight of this tenure included co-producing a permanent installation at the Chicago Midway Airport—a high-visibility commission commemorating the Battle of Midway through a sophisticated blend of historical data and digital aesthetics. Additionally, I curated a landmark exhibition of "ImmersaGrams," showcasing virtual reality snapshots from an international roster of artists to explore the friction between ephemeral digital environments and permanent physical records.
About Todd
My work functions as a sensory intervention, utilizing the tools of rigorous research to materialize complex data as a felt experience. They explore the mediated experience of human intuition with algorithmic logic, turning abstract information into immersive physical or visual form.
