Maggie Mather invites you to a reception for their residency with Denver Digerati at The Evans School. The night will include an audio-visual performance by Maggie Mather and Austin Słominski, exploring the creative process of abstracting the natural world through generative programming. Their performance utilizes a variety of live-coding techniques to control real-time visuals and electronic, plunderphonic-influenced music. The night will also include viewing of Mather’s work during their residency, including “Hall of Mirrors;” an interactive installation exploring the intimacy and discomfort of perceiving the self as a digital shadow.
