IDM AND ONASSIS ONX Speaker Series : Steve Gurysh

Steve Gurysh

Friday March 6 at 3:30pm

370 Jay Street Room 325

Steve Gurysh is an artist and educator working in sculpture, computational craft, and art in the public realm. Recognized by a fluid approach to process and material, his work compresses place-based inquiries into potent artifacts containing digital to physical translations, speculative relationships to time, and generative social contracts. His talk will explore the dimensions of a place-based practice developed in correspondence with scientists, municipal workers, other artists, communities, and non-human participants.

Art at the Margins

In this speaker series we are interested in the margins of creative practice: How is unusual work curated, displayed, and conserved? Here we invite practitioners who pursue unusual creative outcomes, produced in uncommon contexts or engaging unconventional audiences. This series aims to highlight the challenges of working outside of the box at all stages of the creative process: from conceptualization to production to curation to archival strategies. How do practitioners work with new methods and contexts to bring their extra-ordinary work to audiences?
Let Them Cook

Let Them Cook presents experimental prototypes developed by graduate students in Interaction Design Studio. The exhibition foregrounds learning through making, highlighting projects created during the first phase of the course as students explore the foundations of physical computing. Rather than polished final works, the gallery becomes a space for testing systems, assembling circuits, and experimenting with responsive materials.

Across the exhibition, sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and custom-built interfaces translate touch, movement, light, and sound into motion, illumination, and digital feedback. Wires remain visible and components are exposed, emphasizing the iterative nature of design and the technical competencies students develop as they learn to build interactive systems.

Together, the works invite visitors into a moment of active experimentation. The gallery becomes a laboratory where ideas are prototyped, behaviors are tested, and early concepts begin to take shape before evolving into larger installations later this semester.

Design Systems – Spring 2022
Multi-species Theory : Design for the More-than-Human

Multispecies theory is a rapidly growing paradigm that sustains that all practices of design, even if aimed for human users or audiences, implicitly impact non-human species: those we can see in our nearby environments, and those invisible or in environments far away. The show is centered on media artifacts that reflect on this.
Original Copy : Analog Duplication in Sculpture & Variation

In a world where designers fear their work being copied not just by individuals but by generative AI models, what does it mean for an artist to make multiples? The truth is, it’s not so easy to make an exact copy, and when you’re competing with machines, sometimes there’s art in imperfections.

For this project, students made a one or two-part mold in class, out of silicone, designing/sculpting the original object used in the mold. The original object should be no larger than 18 cubic inches (ex. 4.5” x 2” x 2”).

Objects are then cast in a material — low-cost and safe materials considered include: wax, chocolate, butter, jello, ice and silicone. Casts were incorporated into a larger sculpture, installation, performance, or video exploring the idea of “copy.”
