Lara Sedbon conducts an email interview with Joanie Lemercier of ANTIVJ for the LISA blog. LS: Let’s start with a few questions about process. How much code do you incorporate into your work? JL: Actually we use more and more code / custom software in the production of our work. […]
We invited artist and designer Takeshi Ishiguro to present at a LISA salon but he was unable to travel here from Japan that month, so he kindly answered our questions via email instead. Were you interested in art or engineering as a child? I know many children dream of inventing […]
Dafna Naphtali opened the show by sending clicks around ISSUE‘s in-house installation of 15 speakers installed by Stephan Moore.
