UAL CCI: Introduction to Creative Computing 2025: 📆: Discussion 8: Tehching Hsieh, Every Icon and RadicalArt.info.
Back to slide index.

The artist of the afternoon is Tehching Hsieh.

His most famous work is "One Year Performance 1980-1981" - he spent 12 months punching a time clock every hour, on the hour, 24 hours a day. Read more here.

I think alot of Tehching's work is about time passing and repeating a set of instructions, which is why he's perfect for this afternoon's lecture - which was on exactly those things!

Another algorithmical artwork: Every Icon (1997) John F. Simon, Jr. New York Times article about the work.

An amazing resource of all kinds of art relevant to this course:https://www.radicalart.info

What questions do you have for me?

Thanks! See you tomorrow in person at CCI (5th floor, block B) at UAL Camberwell at 1000 sharp!
