The Art Directors Club asked me to produce and creative direct the Young Guns event in 2016, which would take place at the ADC venue. I had also served as a nominator for the Young Guns, and a few of my picks (Ezra Miller, Nonotak, Laila Gohar) had been selected. It thus made sense to as these artists to create something for the event. I also enlisted Christine Renee to play music during the event, which was organized as both a party and an award show.
Ezra Miller created some custom software to take a camera feed from the audience and run it through his custom WebGL shaders, using Chrome as a platform. Laila Gohar created a new installation using potatoes to power three LED fixtures, adjoined by a pile of potato chips. Nonotak performed their "Late Speculation" piece.
