Tristan Perich: “Machine Wall Drawing”
March 20 – November 18, 2014

Tristan Perich is a contemporary artist and composer based in New York City who recently had work included in the exhibition “Soundings” at the Museum of Modern Art. “Machine Wall Drawing” occupied a 60-foot wall on the museum’s Patsy Dudley Pate Balcony and created itself over the course of 6 months. Perich wrote code that operated the machine, but the interaction of the digital and physical elements made the work unique, introducing randomness into a tightly controlled order.
