About the artwork

Brandon A. Dalmer, Colin Canary and Marley Johnson participate in a series of open studios and workshops to reveal the hidden structures behind technology, painting and research-creation.

Inspired by the word “generative,” they explore new collaborative techniques such as group discussions, surveys, voting, etc. They hope this collaboration enables new avenues in their respective work.
