The creative interface: connecting art and computer science | Cole Wiley | TEDxLSU

What if there was a way to a way to apply your love of motorcycles with your love of cooking? In this TEDx talk Cole Wiley -- an artist, software developer, maker and hacker -- demonstrates that even when your interests seem disparate you can find powerful and practical connections between the two, and use these connections to innovate your passions.
Things are not COLE WILEY’s art. To this sculptor, techie, and hacker, art is much more than final products; it’s about the process, the interaction, and finding connections where it seems there are none. Cole’s explorations of the interstices of the tech and art worlds date back to his senior year at LSU. After earning his BFA, he took his passions to the community. Since then, Cole has focused on multimedia art installations, software development, hacking and various grassroots organizations. Most recently, Cole founded MAKERS OF NO, a weekly maker meetup meant to inspire creativity.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Thank you! I'm doing my dissertation on contemporary art and computer sciences. I strongly and passionately urge people to see how these two disciplines are not as different as they seem! There is so much beauty in both
