Evan Roth is a well-known American artist, hacker, and philosopher recognized for his unique blend of art, technology, and culture. He studied architecture and focused on "Graffiti and Technology" at Parsons School of Design in New York. Roth co-founded the Graffiti Research Lab in 2005, which worked on projects like tagging the Brooklyn Bridge with laser light. In 2007, he helped start the Free Art and Technology Lab, an online group that combines open-source hacking with popular culture. He played a key role in creating the EyeWriter, a device that allowed graffiti artist TEMPT1, who has ALS, to make art using eye-tracking technology. His notable projects include L.A.S.E.R. Tag, which uses lasers for large-scale graffiti, and LED Throwies, which are throwable lights for urban art. He also developed White Glove Tracking to digitally capture graffiti artists' movements and created a motion-tracking system to analyze their hand movements for digital graffiti projections. Additionally, he worked with Jay-Z on the first open-source rap video, blending art and technology. Roth has received several awards, including the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award in 2012 and the Golden Nica from Prix Ars Electronica. His work is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and has been shown in major venues like the Centre Pompidou and the Tate. Roth's philosophy embraces a hacker mindset, encouraging creative expression through playful and clever system misuse. He believes that engaging content can enhance its political impact, as seen in projects like the fake Google driverless vehicle video. His contributions have greatly influenced the digital arts scene, making him a key figure in the hacker-art movement.
Book Evan Roth to inspire your team with his unique insights at the intersection of art, technology, and culture. His innovative approach challenges conventional thinking, fostering creativity and collaboration that can transform your business's perspective and impact.
