In this work, I am trying capture the feeling of light on water. I think there's something really profound about how impossible it is to recreate natural phenomenon with code. It's impossible to make something as beautiful as what you might see out in the world, but it's possible to try to express the feelings you have observing something beautiful. I try to bring those feelings into my work and images.

Biography
Zachary Lieberman is an artist, researcher, and educator with a simple goal: he wants you surprised. In his work, he creates performances and installations that take human gesture as input and amplify them in different ways -- making drawings come to life, imagining what the voice might look like if we could see it, transforming people's silhouettes into music. He's been listed as one of Fast Company's Most Creative People and his projects have won the Golden Nica from Ars Electronica, Interactive Design of the Year from Design Museum London as well as listed in Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. He creates artwork through writing software and is a co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding and helped co-found the School for Poetic Computation, a school examining the lyrical possibilities of code.
