HCL’s new monthly Cultural Conversation seriesinvites you to meet some of Chicago’s most innovative and inspirational artists and cultural producers as they share the intimate details of their projects, passions and inspirations. Join us for casual brunch time talks and take part in the dialogues that propel guest artists, scholars and thinkers to investigate their unique perspectives across a diverse range of creative forms.
Jon Satrom is an artist who undermines interfaces, problematizes presets, and playfully bends data.
He spends his days fixing things and making things work. He spends his evenings breaking things and searching for the unique blips inherent to the systems he explores and exploits. His works and warez have been enjoyed on screens of all sizes. His artwork and efforts have been featured in glowing-rectangles and on dead-trees. Collaboratively, Satrom performs with I ♥ PRESETS & PoxParty and co-organizes the GLI.TC/H conference/festival/gathering.
Satrom will share some of his favorite artist-built tools and discuss some of his own current projects.
