About the Artist
David Young
David Young (b.1964) has a Master's degree in Visual Studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Young has spent his entire career at the leading edge of emerging technologies. Throughout all of his work -- from projects at the dawn of the web using early supercomputers, to contemporary global innovation and artistic initiatives -- he has been a champion for new forms of creativity and expression enabled by technology. The artist’s current work, using artificial intelligence and quantum computing, explores how beauty and aesthetic experiences can give us new intuitions for emerging technologies. The works are also a meditation on "the new" and its eventual obsolescence.
