Jeffrey Alan Scudder (born January 24, 1989) also known as Jeffrey Heart[1] or JAS is an American artist, educator, and software programmer who primarily presents his work by giving improvisational lecture performances on picture-making theory. Scudder's work includes elements of performance art, digital painting, new media art, programming, and the making of computational and conceptual instruments that define new approaches to traditional drawing and painting.[2]
Biography[edit]
Scudder was raised in Assonet, MA and attended Ringling College of Art and Design from 2007–2011 where he studied graphic design before switching to fine arts. In 2013, he earned a Masters of Fine Arts from Yale School of Art's department of Sculpture. He worked for the NYC design studio Linked by Air from 2013–2014 before beginning his career as an artist and educator, where he made the iOS app Shrub.[3] Scudder has taught courses at Parsons School of Design and UCLA Design Media Arts (DMA).
Work[edit]
In his work, Jeffrey Alan Scudder expands on a variety of topics including resolution, computer literacy, transmediality, drawing, abstract painting, and video gaming.[4] Since 2016 he has used the label Radical Digital Painting (inspired by Radical Computer Music) to refer to both the ideas and artifacts he presents.[5]
Through multi-media art, Scudder draws connections between the technical and abstract components of technology and forms of making, often with McLuhanesque probes such as "Drawing is the best video game"[6] or "Resolution has more to do with behavior than fidelity".[7] The artists’ performances have involved live digital painting, chalk talk, and demonstrations of homegrown software orchestrated with store-bought video game and MIDI controllers.[8]
He has been invited and given lectures and performances at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Yale University, Harvard, Oberlin College, UC Santa Barbara,[9] Temple University, Rutgers, SUNY Purchase, UMASS Dartmouth,[10] Weber State, UCLA, The Vera List Center for Art and Politics,[11] Cooper Union, AIGA[12] and in Europe at Bauhaus University, Weimar, Estonian Academy of Arts,[13] Jutland Art Academy, University of Fine Arts of Hamburg, Sibelius Academy, Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Jan Van Eyck Academie, Iceland Academy of the Arts,[14] Oslo National Academy of the Arts[15] and ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.[16]
Scudder has collaborated with the electronic musician Goodiepal and artist Casey Reas.[17]
Meeting Mr. Kid Pix[edit]
In 2019, during the Internet Archive's Artist in Residence program, Jeffrey Alan Scudder created and released the short film Meeting Mr. Kid Pix.[18] The film profiles Craig Hickman, the inventor of the Kid Pix paint software for children and was directed by Matthew Doyle.
