Along with my colleague Ben Aranda, we hosted our inaugural Workshop on Generative Art, Architecture & Engineering Collaboration. Leading practitioners in the field of generative art, design and machine learning presented their work and engaged in a discussion led by students. This workshop was an extension a multi-year effort to explore generative algorithms and Machine Learning at Cooper Union through a series of interdisciplinary seminars and studios, where students from the art, architecture and engineering schools work together.

We concluded our final reviews for Generative Machine Learning for Architecture in the Houghton gallery. Check out the images and videos below.

We opended our annual data science for social good exhibition today, in person again after a year off. Once again we partnered with several non profits and performed data visualization and analysis. Have a look below for descriptions of the projects and some pictures of the installation.

Recently, one of my graduate students defended her Master’s thesis, an examination of the bailable population in Mississippi. This work was done in collaboration with The Bail Project, a non profit who’s mission is to combat mass incarceration and restore presumption of innocence, reunite families, and challenge a system that criminalizes race and poverty.
