Yauger Williams is an emerging aesthete, artist, and academic in the field of visualization. His work has been presented in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. He is Assistant Professor of Visualization at Texas A & M University, in College Station, TX. He is interested with relations of artistic and scientific inquiries and how they critique aesthetic culture. Since moving to Texas, in 2003, his work has explored the visualization of media synaesthetics and the role of the artist in everday culture. In 2004, Williams exhibited a solo multimedia show at Traver Gallery, in Seattle, WA, with the theme of displaying a pixel as an autonomous modern artwork. Autonomy and digital artifacts are investigated as utopic 'aesthetic intelligence' in text banners advertisements of the "Transvergent Visualization," project for the Global Research Symposium at Texas A & M University, in College Station, TX. Word-image ideas are explored with pop-culture "Propaganda," sticker/banner slogans shown at Chicago Contemporary Fine Art, in Brooklyn, NY, and to be shown at SOMA, in Los Angeles, and San Francisco, CA. In November he will give a paper on character sensation and perception at the Sigradi conference, in Lima, Peru, and exhibit an immersive and interactive 3D shooter game, "Playas: Homeland Mirage," a collaboraton with Jack Stenner, Dr. Andruid Kerne, and students from Texas A & M, at the ACM Multimedia conference in Orchard, Singapore. |
