Description
by Molly Donovan (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Annie Dell'aria (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Sarah Sze (Interviewer)
An expansive monograph of work by acclaimed contemporary artist Leo Villareal, known for his monumental installations employing light and computer technology
Transforming pixels using the zeroes and ones of binary code into dazzling displays of light, Mexican-American artist Leo Villareal creates abstract installations that are icons of public art. Employing artist-created code and custom software, his innovative practice explores chance, rules, and the underlying structure of systems.
Leo Villareal: Coding Light features more than 30 works ranging in scale - from exhibitions and immersive architectural commissions like Cosmos at Cornell University, to urban-scale artworks such as his seminal work, Illuminated River, which joins nine central-London bridges to illuminate the Thames with subtly shifting light patterns along the River Thames in London - and includes work from over two decades of the artist's career.
