SUMMARY:Art In the Open: Diego Chavez, Flow State Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Explore the intersection of art, technology, and nature at Flow State, a FREE immersive workshop series and sunset showcase, designed and led by artist Diego Chavez for Art In the Open at Confluence Park. Participation in this FREE four-part workshop series and showcase is limited, registration is required. \nWorkshop Schedule \nTuesdays, November 4, 11, & 18 | 6:00–8:00 PM | Estela Avery Education Center \nWorkshop 1: Flow & Forces (November 4, 6-8pm). Discover the basics of live coding and video synthesis through the lens of natural phenomena: \n\nIntroduction to Hydra for live-coded visuals. \nCreate wave-like patterns simulating water and sound oscillations. \nDevelop flocking behaviors inspired by birds and fish. \n\nWorkshop 2: Growth & Patterns (November 11, 6-8pm). Dive into nature’s fractal beauty and dynamic systems: \n\nExplore plant-inspired algorithms using L-systems. \nLearn to build particle systems that mimic organic growth. \nCombine techniques to craft living, breathing digital art. \n\nWorkshop 3: Digital Ecology (November 18, 6-8pm). Fuse visuals with sound to create immersive environments: \n\nDesign audio-reactive visuals synced with natural rhythms. \nIncorporate real-time video inputs for dynamic compositions. \nIntegrate all techniques in preparation for the showcase. \n\nShowcase: Twilight Installation \nTuesday, November 25 | 7:00–9:00 PM | BHP Pavilion \nAs the sun sets, the pavilion becomes a vibrant canvas celebrating the convergence of nature, technology, and community: \n\nParticipant Creations: Each participant presents a unique visual projection responding to ambient soundscapes by Jevonchi, featuring environmental recordings and atmospheric beats. \nProjection Mapping: Live projection transforms the pavilion’s architecture into a dynamic art piece, complemented by interactive satellite zones inviting audience participation. \nImmersive Soundscapes: Blended natural and digital sounds create a captivating audio environment. \n\nKey Details \n\nEquipment: Projectors, sound systems, and laptops are provided (reservations required for laptops). Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops. \nCapacity: Workshop series is limited to 15 participants, fostering an intimate learning environment. \nAccessibility: Each workshop is designed to be accessible to beginners, though attending all three is recommended for the full experience. \n\nJoin us to reimagine the relationship between technology, creativity, and the natural world in this unforgettable series and showcase. Participation in this FREE four-part workshop series and showcase is limited, registration is required. \nDiego Chavez is a digital media artist and technologist exploring the resonance between natural phenomena and computational systems. His work weaves together ambient soundscapes and generative visuals, creating immersive experiences that bridge organic and digital realms. Through live coding performances and AI-assisted art, he transforms environmental patterns into flowing digital landscapes, inviting audiences to explore the delicate interplay between nature, technology, and human experience. His recent work investigates how computational systems can mirror natural processes, using code as a medium to reflect the rhythms and cycles found in nature. For more on Diego Chavez, visit https://diegochavez.io/. \nArt In the Open is a San Antonio River Foundation initiative and program to support artists and engage the San Antonio River community and our visitors with contemporary art experiences. Artists are invited to present projects at Confluence Park that align with San Antonio River Foundation’s mission to enhance the river as a vibrant cultural experience and promote and encourage the conservation, stewardship, and enjoyment of the San Antonio River Basin. \n
