Reflections on Light: Developing New Methods for Producing Anamorphic Sculpture

LOUIS PRATT is a multi-award-winning artist with works held in numerous public and private collections. He is currently a PhD candidate in the Engineering and Information Technology faculty at the University of Technology, Sydney.

ANDREW JOHNSTON is a Professor at the University of Technology Sydney, where he works as the Research and Course Director of the UTS Animal Logic Academy, a unique, professionally equipped studio focusing on the creative application and design of digital technologies. He also co-directs the Creativity and Cognition Studios, an interdisciplinary research group working at the intersection of performance, art, and technology. Andrew’s research focuses on the design of systems that support experimental and exploratory approaches to interaction and the experiences and practices of the people who use them.

NICO PIETRONI is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney. His research focuses on concepts and practical algorithms for creating and manipulating digital shape representation. Nico is especially interested in how geometry processing intersects with artistic modeling and digital fabrication. His primary goal is to push the boundaries of current industrial production pipelines by exploiting the theoretical foundations in geometry processing. This includes mesh parametrisation, surface abstraction, and global optimisation applied to the entertainment industry, digital fabrication, and architectural geometry.
