Description

Artist Victor Acevedo joins NFTuesdayLA to speak about the development of his digital work (1983 to present) and how it was informed conceptually by his geometry explorations during his analog media period (1977-1985) He will base his talk on his recently published 400-page career survey monograph called Acevedo in Context. Starting in 2007 he transitioned to video and began producing what he calls Electronic Visual Music (EVM) works. He will also share his knowledge about the early Digital Art scene and important Digital Art exhibitions in Los Angeles from 1983 to 2004, with a focus on the 1990s. ABOUT VICTOR ACEVEDO Victor Acevedo is considered a desktop computer art pioneer as he was an early adopter of personal computer software to create fine art in the early 1980s. He studied at Art Center College of Design (1979-1981). He later taught at the School of Visual Art in New York (BFA & MFA Computer Art Departments 1997 through 2008) He has shown his work in over 140 group and solo art exhibitions in the U.S. and Internationally since 1982. His work has been acquired (among others) by the Anne and Michael Spalter Digital Art Collection; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, as part of the Patric Prince Digital Art Collection and the Museum der Stadt Gladbeck and the Golden Plotter archives: Computer Kunst 1994 & 2006. Considering the phenomenology of synesthesia and integrating real-time video-mix workflows into his audio-visual studio practice, Acevedo initially positioned himself inside the genre called Visual Music. He later coined the term Electronic Visual Music (EVM) in 2013. This was to identify his motion graphic work more accurately in the digital domain. In recent years, participating in the NFT/Blockchain marketplace has been an integral part of his practice. Acevedo’s work has been included in these four international online archives: http://www.isea-archives.org/ https://www.digitalartarchive.at/nc/home.html https://digitalartarchive.siggraph.org/ https://archive.aec.at/pic/ (1991) Website: https://www.acevedomedia.com/ Artwork: Ectoplasmic Kitchen V01 (1987) NFTuesdayLA program flyers are designed by Sunny Chen.
