Eric Theise

Biography

Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software developer. He applies strategies from experimental film & animation, color theory, the Light and Space movement, and concrete poetry to open data and open source software, resulting in digital maps that behave in ways never intended by the original developers. Through video and realtime performances tools he reinvigorates the perceptual inquiries of structural filmmakers, experimental animators, op artists, and the light and space movement as new possibilities in the realm of digital cartography.
