Episode 6: From Confederate Monuments to COVID-19: Data Glitches and the Aesthetics of Decay

In this episode, LAC member Camila Gutiérrez interviews David Van Ness (Northern University of Arizona) about his artistic production combining glitch art, digital 3D models, and 3D printing. David talks about his first encounters with glitch art, his personal trajectory, and seeing art as a collaboration between the human and the computer. Then, David discusses a project where he uses hate crime data to alter the 3D models of scanned Confederate monuments. Other projects involve creating 3D models and music from biological forms such as the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and creating new proteins from music.
