MAG Members,
Our next meeting will be held on April 20, 6:30 PM, in the Parkview Community Room. Our guest speaker will be Christopher Short.
Christopher
Short is a multidisciplinary artist blending his experience in music,
sound design, electronics, video, painting and other traditional media
into a brew of experience that can activate the senses and impact the
imagination on a deep level. It is an investigation into dreams,
visions, and sublime experience.
In his current series he has been working with AI animation to create music videos in what he likes to call moving paintings. This series has generated several videos and prints and a YouTube channel.
